What does it mean to be inclusive?
Welcome to the Living With Disabilities Advocacy website. First and foremost. Self-published author Katrina Smith, a person of many accomplishments, has written six volumes in total: two cookbooks and four collections of poetry. Her favorite activities include reading and writing. Katrina would be described by one word: determined. Despite any challenges she may encounter, she does not let unkind comments decide her fate.
This week, the topic of disability inclusion is being discussed.
If you're a new visitor to this advocacy website, this page's goal is to increase public understanding of those who live with disabilities and other conditions. We are not licensed, mental health counselors or medical experts. Everything you read or hear is just an opinion.
First, let's take a look at the early 1970s when a group of youngsters with disabilities started the disability rights movement. I strongly advise you to look it up on Netflix or YouTube if you are unfamiliar with this moniker or have not seen Crip Camp. The disability rights campaign that led to the enactment of the American Disability Act was sparked by Jened's run-down camp "for individuals with disabilities" in Catskill, New York. You will discover more if you watch the documentary Crip Camp.
You may learn what these teenagers stood for by watching the video and remembering, among other things, that they fought for inclusiveness. But as we'll see in a moment, this is about inclusiveness. Numerous companies have received recognition pins for taking the initiative to hire workers with disabilities. Because it's not just about what you see on the outside of a person, when you put in the effort and present the news with a good grin, you not only help your fellow employee but also your company expand.
How might other businesses benefit from those that have included inclusivity in their operations? Keep an open mind and be aware that you may need to make some adjustments. There isn't enough money to make those adjustments, so don't worry. It will work out just fine if you are handling the money properly and staying on top of what has to be done. When you begin to construct your reasoning, those reasonings become your reality. Develop methods to adapt and find solutions that work.
🆕Strength full circle
I'm glad you're here, Strength full circle! To help you understand the content and how you, too, can have a positive impact on the topic, Living With Disabilities will break it down in this section. Being inclusive means including all individuals with disabilities in all activities. Since the word "Job replacement" has been used in this discussion, it pertains to both applying for jobs and going to events. Always remember to include a person with a disability rather than exclude them. When you exclude a person, you take away your opportunity to get to know their capabilities. By including them, you brighten your horizons as well as theirs.
