What will I read about in Inclusion Daily Express?

Inclusion Daily Express chronicles the barriers people with disabilities face as they advocate to live and direct their lives. While many problems are the same ones most people who do not have disabilities must address, some seem more common with people who make up this diverse group (and the people who care about them), such as poverty, discrimination, injustice, vulnerability, inaccessibility, loneliness -- being on the outside.

Inclusion Daily Express looks at the progress being made to break down the barriers to being meaningfully included, such as:

Architectural, technological and physical barriers to accessibility and participation.
Laws and policies that allow people with disabilities to be excluded and discriminated against.
Groups that work to take resources away from communities in order to keep institutions, nursing homes and other large congregate living facilities operating.
The public in general that fears people who appear, act, or think differently than the "norm"or "average".
Experts who believe and teach that some people have less of a right to live than others or that people with disabilities "drain" society.
People, including some medical professionals and researchers, who act as if it is better to not live than to have a disability.
Employers who cannot see past a disability to a person's abilities and potential.
People who act out of pity, to "rescue" people with disabilities from what they believe is the "suffering" caused by the disability, rather than vowing to work alongside people in the struggle to direct their own lives.
Those who refuse to embrace disability and difference as a fact of life -- a natural part of the human condition.

You will also see information presented in respectful "People First" language that acknowledges that a disability is just one part of who each of us.
