Director of Quality Assurance with Community Options ND. Always advocating for the rights of those with disabilities. My thoughts are my own.

[David Sinclair-Smith @DavidSinSmith]

Absolutely! Inclusive characters are important in movies as they act as vehicles of not only identifying with, but also archetypes of integrity to emulate. Please check out movies by Abe Forsythe @abeforsythe which are very inclusive without being sentimental or trite. https://t.co/VWfjrRp6fU

I see this happening way too often... Just because something seems related, it doesn't mean it is! There are some fun correlations out there. One of my favorites sites about this: https://t.co/u2IGv9WDdW https://t.co/KlPLLcnYKx

“Stop Yelling.” #AlwaysAdvocating https://t.co/u9SyN0ejsr

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

One big question asked by people who aren't members of the Disability Community is, "WHAT DO I CALL YOU?"

1) Stop yelling.
2) The answer is simple. There isn't one answer.

Unfortunately it is more common to hear comments about congregate care instead of inclusion now. https://t.co/amdJDT5NPG

Research consistently shows that inclusion is better for students with disabilities, yet students with I/DD continue to be segregated from their peers: https://t.co/RymfueQy3y

@MerriamWebster Yes there is! 😂

Aspiring for better not normal! @ComOptCrew https://t.co/14Nvb4hwtE

[Dr Liam Hackett MBE @LiamHALI]

Normal is based on averages. To be normal, therefore is to be average. Aspire higher.

[Rebecca Helm @ComOptRebecca]

@DiageoLiam This is a great message.

[Rebecca Helm @ComOptRebecca]

This is so very important. Please stand up for those who are still housed in institutions. @ComOpt4909 #alwaysadvocating https://t.co/aUfPxEwn7h

This is a much needed program that many people moving out of institutions needed simply to move out. I hate to think of the people who won’t be able to move out of an institution simply because they do not have the money to do so. @ComOpt4909 #alwaysadvocating https://t.co/7bf42VY6D9
