Helping people find their place in the world is affirming work. For many people with disability, finding that "fit" requires experimentation, experience, and stretching to see what brings out our best. Learn more about Mohammed and his path. #Jhalak https://t.co/6VCWpbwJID

Weeks of in-person events ended in the holy city of Amritsar, spending 2 days with family members, professionals, and people with disability, all to explore creating home to help people have full, big lives. What a team- teaching and learning together! https://t.co/HeRhvvkY8r

Across India, small community-based supportive services for people with developmental disability are rising out the imaginations of families and activists, and creating human-scale alternatives to large institutional settings. #Jhalak Learn more: https://t.co/l7egVLNMDM

Our 5 session certificate course at Lucknow University on “Campus and Community Leadership in Inclusion” is complete! As always, the Department of English and Modern European Languages faculty were amazing, and
we're thrilled with the newly-launched disability studies course.

We dream of a world where every individual freely makes her own decisions. Where everyone is part of a community. Where the shackles of institutionalization, the loneliness of abandonment, & disregard for humanity are undone. @the_ristrust @THF_INDIA https://t.co/WJ4472TCnK

[Keystone Human Services @Keystone_KHS]

Keystone Human Services remains committed to our work in Eastern Europe supporting people with disability and building a more inclusive world. We strongly condemn the aggression against Ukraine and stand in full support of the Ukrainian people.

India is a large source of technology-driven innovations, supporting accessibility and inclusion, with enormous potential for "south-south"-cooperations. In this #ZeroCon22 session, Indian investors will discuss successes and failures in the disability start-up space.

Sreerupa Mitra: Creating an enabling ecosystem is important, particularly access to learning materials and assistive technology...evaluation of an initial pilot in Uganda found 80% of teachers reported increased confidence in working with learnings with disabilities. #GDS2022

[Keystone India @KeystoneIndia]

We learn to listen better, adapt, grow, and thrive through the presence of disability in society. We gather in circles in family homes, meeting rooms, and fields and the forests, to dream together. All voices are heard, and all voices matter. #jhalak https://t.co/K81541irqS

Institutionalized people across the country wait: for a change in policy, a change in practice, or a way to open doors. Despite well-meaning advice to forget about her, Sumitra's supporters worked for her story to have a happy ending. #Jhalak #Disability https://t.co/kB1E2gsB37

[Keystone India @KeystoneIndia]

Relationships and a sense of belonging give our lives meaning, even during adversity. For many people with disability, however, freely-given unpaid relationships are rare. It doesn't have to be this way. #jhalak #disability https://t.co/RJjxMEbJpD

[Keystone India @KeystoneIndia]

Across India, small, community-based services for people with developmental disability are rising. These services are often fueled by the desire to create human-scale alternatives to large institutional settings. #jhalak https://t.co/l7egVLNMDM

[Keystone India @KeystoneIndia]

Physicians' words carry great weight, and can be delivered in ways that set a trajectory for a strong full life or reinforce stereotypes of low expectations. Learn about physicians/activists carving out areas of agreement & common concern. #jhalak. https://t.co/7CgGTxze1F

Today we reflect on & honor Bhawna, who moved out of a govt institution after being held for a decade: 3650 days. 87,600 hours of her precious time. 52,56,000 minutes waiting for a chance to take her place in her community. #jhalak #transformation https://t.co/nX3f45zUOR

When you first hear about Rick, you will likely hear good things:
“He’s a good traveler by road and train.”
“He’s a thoughtful, observant guy, easy going and kind.”

Have you seen https://t.co/YrzkYMqlh0? It's a glimpse into transformative practices and direct life changes experienced by people with disability and their families, and organizational change efforts that are part of a broader transformative effort. Let us know what you think.

My deepest congratulations to
@aminajmohammed on your reappointment. I'm looking forward to what we can do together for the rights of persons with disabilities. Let's start with the Global Disability Summit #GDS2022.
