United
Something I have learned over time is that true inclusion does not depend on just one organization, sponsor, or institution. For people with disabilities to achieve autonomy and fully develop, all areas of society must work together. Education, the business sector, the community, the media, and recreational and healthcare spaces must all be in communication and aware of the positive impact their collaboration creates.
When there is coordination and commitment, barriers disappear. Accessing rehabilitation, learning new skills, or having the necessary adaptations to study, work, or simply live independently should not be complicated. The most important thing is to ensure there are no conflicts between organizations and entities that aim to provide support, but rather that they work with a shared purpose: to make it easier for every person with a disability to reach their goals.
In my experience, when there is willingness and unity, inclusion stops being a distant goal and becomes a reality. In the end, we all benefit from a society where every individual, regardless of their abilities, can contribute, participate, and live with dignity and happiness.
