LOGO - All About Community  

 

"It’s all about community! Learning from people with mental retardation" is a campaign promoting inclusion of people with mental retardation in the everyday life of the community.

Community is not only where we live, but where we support each other and feel a sense of belonging. Community is where each individual person is able to make a contribution.

People with mental retardation live in all neighborhoods and share the desire to work, play, worship, have friends and loving relationships, and contribute to the community.

We share a vision of community in which each person is able to contribute his or her individual gifts, abilities and talents - a community which is inclusive and welcoming - a community that invites and embraces the unique talents of all its members.

You can provide employment and volunteer opportunities...open up your churches, synagogues, temples and recreation centers. You can also welcome individuals with disabilities into your neighborhood and schools.

Our communities will grow stronger if we all participate.
