Broward Families Join for Inclusion

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Realizing how much children with disabilities benefit from

participating in social activities with children without

disabilities, I have decided to start a group whose mission will be

to create more inclusion opportunities in recreational activities

for young children in our community. My son's diagnosis is autism

but I am welcoming children with any disability.

Our precious children are part of society and as such should be

included (with adaptations and supports) in all activities they wish

to be part of. With some work in our part we can make this a

successful and beneficial experience for all.

Segregation makes of our children second class citizens. It robs

them from meaninful learning opportunities, opportunities to develop

abilities and skills to their maximum potential, chances of making

friends, and of enjoying life just like everyone else.

If you are someone full of positive energy, willing to help me get

this organization started, and have fun and make good friends while

at it, please send me an email at idajkessler@...

I want our first meeting to be this month, preferrably within the

next two weeks.

Don't sell yourself short by thinking " But how could just one person

make a difference? How can I help? " We all have something to

contribute and that includes you! Throughout history, most

significant changes in society have come from a small group of hard

working positive thinkers. Parents, friends, therapists, teachers,

everyone is welcome to join. You are a piece of the puzzle, and we

need you to be complete.

Regards,

Ida
