Did you know disabilities can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired (occurring later due to accidents, disorders, etc.)? What thoughts arise when encountering someone with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD)? Have you pondered how to interact with them? Would inviting them to a social event make you hesitant?
Humans tend to notice differences, but accepting them as natural diversity fosters inclusion. An IDD is a natural variation in how brains function. However, societal constructs around normality and disability can inadvertently create barriers and misconceptions, making us uncomfortable addressing these topics openly.
At The Sarvodya Collective, we encourage reflecting on these misconceptions. Our (Un)Learn blogs feature insightful articles inspired by lived experiences and research, guiding you towards inclusive practices. Join us in exploring the rich diversity of human minds.
