Disability inclusion appears in the strangest places. The other night I was watching John Cena's latest comedy "Ricky Stanicky." I was pleasantly surprised that during the film there were several characters with physical differences who...just existed in the movie. No explanation of disability they were just characters who also had ,______. This is what we need more of. Disability doesn't need to be explained or justified, it just is. Also, if you like fun comedy (that can be crude at times) give this film a watch. It's worth it. #disability #disabilityinclusion #humanresources

Kindness is a way of life. A value. A spirit of you. It’s about legacy, integrity, and heart. It’s about knowing that even when I do wrong I do not have to be afraid of who I am going to get, Jekyll or Hyde. None of us are perfect. We all deserve a kinder approach, no matter what. We’d all be so much better. #chronicpain #chronicillness #kindnessmatter #kindnesmatters #kindnes #relationshiops #cuoples #chroncpain #cronicpain #chronucpain #discrimination #disability #handicapped #disabilityawareness #disabilitypride

International Day of Disabled Persons 💜 As a disabled person I know only too well how exhausting it can be trying to be seen and be heard. So today I decided it was important for me to share my disabled talent that have a voice and a face to go with it, just like any other talent. The only difference is that we have important stories to share that inspire & empower others. So please take time to check out & book a speaker via the link in my bio #DisabledPersons #SupportingSmallBusinesses #PurplePound #Disability #Empowering #Inspiring #DayofDisability #InternationalDayOfDisabledPersons #SupportingTalent #Speakers #DisabledSpeakers Image Description: Brown writing on a beige background with leaf type image top right and swirls bottom left

URGENT❗ People with disabilities are at risk if Californians don’t TAKE ACTION NOW! Please go to ofainfo.org/takeactionnow to help! 🧡 💙 Some background information: Governor Newsom has proposed to delay $1 billion in critical support and services for Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Options For All Film & Media teams have created a series of Public Service Announcements explaining why it's crucial to fully implement the promised rate model by July 2024. Without it, the IDD community faces a risk of being abandoned due to severely underpaid Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). #IDDPathToThrive #RejectDelay #DisabilityRights #FundDisabilityServices #NoDelays #DisabilityAdvocacy #InclusionMatters #OFAimpact #OptionsForAll

👏 Kudos to Colin Farrell for starting this foundation to support those with intellectual and developmental #disabilities! Julie Jordan reports: "It’s exciting, it feels like the right time. I want the world to be kind to my son. I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect.” The Colin Farrell Foundation will provide support for adult children who have an intellectual #disability through advocacy, education, and innovative programs. James "has had an extraordinary 20 years. He works incredibly hard to achieve the benchmarks that we all experience as typical human beings who don’t have any cognitive issues or developmental delays," says Farrell. "And he’s done incredible. He’s a really well-adjusted, happy young man. He’s extraordinary." “We want to take a good look at residential potential for families with young adults who are ready to go out into the world and have a greater sense of community and connection,” says the actor. Farrell credits both his sons for making him a better man. "Everything is magnified when you have a child with special needs," he says. In a perfect world, James "will be somewhere where he feels like he belongs and he’s safe, where he can garden and watch movies and swim in the pool and go out to the beach and just have a full and meaningful and connected life," the actor says. "That’d be the dream." #SpecialNeedsParents #DisabilitySupport #IntellectualDisabilities #DevelopmentalDisabilities #Philanthropy #AngelmanSyndrome #autism #DownSyndrome #SpecialEducation #DisabilityAdvocacy #neurodiversity #ColinFarrell
