Self-advocates we support proudly attended the Spread the Word event, joining voices across the community to promote inclusion, respect, and belonging for all. The event held at the Stephen's Family YMCA, they encouraged others to take the pledge for inclusion, a commitment to creating a world where individuals of all abilities are valued, supported, and embraced. Through meaningful conversations and personal stories, they inspired attendees to think about how they can make a difference in their everyday lives. Inclusion isn’t just a word—it’s an action. It’s about ensuring that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the same opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive in their communities. Seeing our self-advocates take the lead in this movement was truly inspiring! A huge thank you to to the Stephen's Family YMCA for hosting, and to everyone who took the pledge and stood up for inclusion. Let’s continue spreading the word and making our world a more accepting place for all!
