Engaging and connecting people with disabilities in their communities
ABCD and Inclusive Communities/People with Disabilities
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.
