Looking Beyond Inclusion

Improving  awareness, accessibility, support and accommodation are a good start to improving wellness in disability.  But it does not end there.  There may appear to be an abundance of awareness and accessibility and accommodation in a community.   There may even be publically professed inclusion.  But if a person seen with circumstances of disability does not sense genuine acceptance,  and accommodation of their needs arising on account of their circumstances, all the professing  about inclusion may be for not. For there to be true  wellness in the life of the person with circumstances of disability, there must be more than mandated acceptance and accommodation of the person's needs.  There must be a change of attitude toward the way the person is seen.   Only then will the person be able to move toward greater wellness in their life.
