Engaging and connecting people with disabilities in their communities


ABCD and Inclusive Communities/People with Disabilities

Eric,I am very interested in learning more about your Real Communities initiative. I'm involved with a small group in Philadelphia that is trying to do something similar. Our inspiration came from an art event in Savannah Georgia... would love to hear more about what you are doing!

Thanks Deb,

I'd love to hear more as your project evolves. What you are doing sounds very similar in both focus/purpose as well as struggles and challenges.

It might be interesting to share facilitation tools/ideas at some point.

Thanks!

Jill

ABCD and Inclusive Communities/People with Disabilities

Hello,

I am new to this discussion group, and found this thread while getting acquainted with the site... We do some very similar work and have an upcoming project with teenagers with disabilities that are preparing to leave school and transition to adult life. We find that many are very disconnected from their communities... in fact, the only connection is school. I was struck by the community project element of your work. Would you be willing to share more information? Thanks!
