Persons with disabilities – in the form of physical, sensory and intellectual ones, as well as autism – have their education, employment and recreational prospects, as equal members of the community, significantly reduced as a result of these disabilities (source: Singapore’s Enabling Masterplan). Inclusion efforts aim to address this situation, lowering or removing barriers for their equal participation, which might even include our very own mindsets. In this Tutorial Group, you get the opportunity to take part in Service-Learning initiatives, working alongside Community Partners and persons with disabilities, to find out what are some on-the-ground strategies for promoting disability inclusion.
As you experience these efforts, you will be facilitated to reflect on how the theories and practices you have come across in this TG have shaped you to be an agent of inclusion, be it within this TG or beyond.
