Inclusive Communities = Stronger Communities GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY 129 By shifting our strategies to focus more attention on communities and systems and less on the person’s disability, we are helping to build communities that are more inclusive of all groups and therefore stronger. When teachers learn how to teach students with a range of learning styles, with different types of intelligence, how to adapt curriculum, they become better teachers of all students. Likewise, an education system that makes supports available to the teacher, that draws on all personnel to help problem solve, that is committed to making every student succeed rather than banishing the ones having trouble is a better system overall. The presence of a worker with a disability in the workplace can help build morale and it means fewer people dependent on income support. Inclusion and inclusive strategies that develop relationships and strengthen the informal connections between people contribute to social capital for both families and individuals. The inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the community contributes to social cohesion; the acceptance of difference in the community. While inclusion in the community is important to individuals and families, it is also essential to building stronger social and economically cohesive societies. Families and family organizations have often been the drivers of change in communities, as volunteers as advocates and as support systems but they need help to play those roles. We need to invest in families and in family organizations to achieve inclusion in the community for people with intellectual disabilities and stronger communities for all.
