ABCD and Inclusive Communities/People with Disabilities
Hello! I'm Rachel, and I live and work in Houston, TX, for an organization that is building a kinship community with young people who have often been disconnected and seen as their experiences instead of themselves (justice-involved, system-involved, homeless, unstably housed, a newcomer to the country, etc.). I encountered ABCD first when I was in graduate school in the mid-1990s and have been using its principles in some capacity ever since.
