Widen out passion to value disabilities & with difficulties
Support statement from Keith Mckenzie, Project Director
We need to understand and respect everyone who has different types of disabilities or differences. From learning, blindness, injury, cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical & sensory.
We also need to have tolerance and patience and not use a person's disabilities or differences to be disrespected, undervalued or to cause any sort of shame.
We all have to make sure society is inclusive and for all people with all types of disabilities to be a positive participant in the world.
