🎧 Listen to article read by Nicoletta:
Not a condition for the few, but a reality of all
We often think that the disability is something that “it happens to others,” a small minority. In reality it is not so. According to the World Health Organization, more than a billion people in the world he lives with a form of disability. This means that the disability affects about one person in seven: no an exception, but an integral part of our society.
Disability is a part of life
The disability it is not a’label that defines someone whole, but one of the many the human condition possible. Can be congenital, appear after a accident or emerge with theadvance dell’age. In a sense, it concerns us all: who has never had a arm in plaster, visual difficulties or health problems, temporary?
Remember it helps us to understand that the disability it is not a “world,”but a near reality, can enter into the life of anyone, any time.
An experience that touches even people who are next
When a person lives with a disability, is never alone in this path. With her are families, friends, colleagues, and caregivers. Each personal experience becomes a collective experience. That's why talk of inclusion means to turn to the few, but an entire a community that grows and changes together.
The inclusion improves the lives of all
Create environments more accessible it is not a favor to someone who has a disability: is a the benefit for all. A ramp it is useful to those who use a wheelchairbut also a parent with stroller or an elder. A written text so clear and legible helps those with cognitive, but also those who are tired or short on time.
Every small step to linclusion becomes a step forward towards a society that is more just, welcoming, and functional for anyone.
Look beyond the injury
To think that the disability regard to the few is a myth. The truth is that the disability riguarda all of us, directly or indirectly. This is not a limitbut an invitation to rethink together the spaces, relationships, and opportunities, by putting the person before the condition.
✨ And now... what can we do?
The thenclusione it is not a concept abstract: starts with small daily gestures.
- Imparare a usare un respectful language.
- Chiederci se i places that we are really accessible.
- Listen to and give voice to those living on the disability, without encroaching on your point of view.
- Insegnare ai più piccoli il the value of diversityshowing by example that no one gets left behind.
Each of us has the power to make a difference. Inclusion is not a favour, it is a right. And for all.
