Do you want to join #TeamInclusion?

Here are a few things that I hope we can agree on:

1. We should always presume competence when interacting with people who are differently-abled, realizing that it is the least dangerous assumption.

2. We should always look for a person's strengths and interests when developing a plan to support them (you don't even have to have a disability...this is best practice for everyone).

3. It is up to us to seek out, create and participate in inclusive opportunities for living and learning, even if at first, there are no options available.

4. Change begins with us...we need to treat other people how we want to be treated.

5. Inclusion should be the rule...not the exception.

I know there are a lot of questions as to "how" and "what" and "who" and "when" inclusion happens...but there is plenty of room on #TeamInclusion for all of us. Will you join us?
