Topic: Do You Fit Into This Scenario?
Everyone once in a while one hears about a group which makes one ask, "why didn't I know about this?" Respect Ability is such a group.
Simply put Respect Ability helps people who have a disability. Do you have a limb? Stutter? Learning disability? You are not alone. This is how Respect Ability describes itself:
FIGHTING STIGMAS, ADVANCING OPPORTUNITIES
RespectAbility is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that understands we are a stronger community when we live up to our values – when we are welcoming, diverse, moral and respect one another.
We work with entertainment, policy makers, educators, self-advocates, nonprofits, employers, faith-based organizations, philanthropists, journalists and online media to fight stigmas and advance opportunities for people with disabilities.
Led by people with disabilities and those who love them, we know that people with disabilities and their families have the same hopes and dreams as everyone else, even if they face different challenges.
We do not lobby; we educate. Our free tools and factual resources inform so people with disabilities can achieve the education, training, jobs, security and good health that everyone needs and deserves.
Mission Statement: RespectAbility fights stigmas and advances opportunities so that people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community.
