Hi there ––
More than ever, the world is in need of action for inclusion. People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are used to a world of isolation, a world of loneliness, and a world where they feel like they don’t belong.
But it doesn’t need to be this way. An inclusive world can be created through individual acts of inclusion – finding and welcoming those who have been left out, being a teammate, and becoming a friend. We believe that inclusion is a skill that we can all practice – and when we do, we become better at including all people.
That’s why we are asking everyone to pledge to include and #GoingAllIn. Join the millions of others who have already done so. Here’s what they have to say:
Promoting acceptance and inclusion in our school and community through inclusive activities and our Unified Champions Club. – Adrienne B. | North Carolina
Letting my community know that Special Olympics athletes are just like us. They can do anything that anyone else can do. – Linday E. | Kentucky
Through putting actions into motion and leading by setting the example. – Amy M. | Kansas
By saying hello to everyone I meet in the hallway and being the welcoming smile students see when they come into our building. – Nicole P. | Iowa
Committing to be more inclusive only takes a minute but will make the world a better place for ALL people with intellectual disabilities.
