Alliance Center for Independence – Disabled Does Not Mean Unable!
#274 Great.com Talks With... Alliance Center for Independence
Individuals with disabilities face the same challenges that everyone does in life, however their disabilities may not only make those challenges more difficult but they often have additional obstacles as well. Many of these obstacles are due to how the world around them is designed and the lack of adequate support systems. But, this need not be the case. In this episode, we talk with Charles Dodge from Alliance Center for Independence about providing resources and education for disabled individuals on how they can live their lives independently as possible, as well as providing resources and assistance for those that are in need and would like to be independent.
Disability Is Just Part of Human Diversity
When we think of independence for disabled individuals, we usually think of mobility issues. However, the problem runs a little bit deeper; with disability comes challenges in finding meaningful employment, accessible housing, how to vote, and how to participate in society in general, especially with legislations that affect them. The Alliance Center for Independence believes that disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity, and the members of the disability community have the right to be part of society. Dodge also explains that given proper resources and a little bit of help, those that are disabled can become truly independent and live full and productive lives in their communities.
