Disability Inclusion Web Pages
Including people with disabilities in everyday activities and encouraging them to have roles similar to their peers who do not have a disability is disability inclusion. This involves more than simply encouraging people; it requires making sure that adequate policies and practices are in effect in a community or organization.
CDC provides information and resources that public health practitioners, healthcare providers and people interested in the health and well-being of people with disabilities can use to increase awareness about disability inclusion. This information and the resources can help ensure that everybody - with and without disabilities - can live, work, learn, and play in their communities.
