Engaging and connecting people with disabilities in their communities


ABCD and Inclusive Communities/People with Disabilities

I think starting a group would be great. I am also currently working with a number of DD Councils around these issues as well and they might be willing to join in the conversation.

Jill - if you were in Savannah for Beth Mount's event then we met. You can go to our website and look under Real Communitiesand see a lot more. We can also talk if that would help.

Deb,

In Georgia we have an initiative we call Real Communities. We have been working on this for four years now and are currently supporting 4 projects in Georgia based on ABCD with the idea of bring people with and without disabilities together to create communities that are more welcoming to all people. You can visit our website andsee our videoWe are currently in the process of deciding how we will expand by 4 or 5 communities in the next year.

In addition, we are working with other DD Councils interested in this. There are about three or four who are either already doing something or on the verge. Let me know if you want to discuss this more.
