December 3rd marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) to increase awareness, understanding, and inclusion of people with disabilities.
The theme for 2022 is: “Transformative solutions for inclusive development: The role of innovation in fueling an accessible and equitable world.”
It is essential to highlight that having a disability does not reflect or define capability, and not all disabilities are visible.
Building an inclusive community is a role in which every one of us can participate. In fact, instead of the term disability, we should talk about diversity, as this stands for variety. Every human brings a certain level of diversity which makes them unique!
On this day, Student Counseling Services (SCS) and Access-Ability Services (AAS) invite you to celebrate and appreciate the diversities, potential, abilities, and uniqueness of people around you.
