"Together, we can create inclusive communities where people with disabilities can be healthy and lead full, active lives. Transforming one community at a time for a better world.
December 3 is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners are working together to create opportunities for people with disabilities to join in activities that promote health within their communities.
In the United States and around the world, people with disabilities are often prevented from learning, living, working, and playing in their communities because they
- Face negative stereotypes;
- Have difficulty communicating; and
- Experience physical, social and other barriers.
Communities can help improve the health and well-being of people with disabilities and support them in reaching their full potential by being
- Inclusive;
- Safe;
- Resilient; and
- Sustainable...."
