Disability inclusion means understanding the relationship between the way people function and how they participate in society, and making sure everybody has the same opportunities to participate in every aspect of life to the best of their abilities and desires. Creating a society where children with disabilities have equal access and opportunities in all spheres of life means an inclusive society where children with disabilities are treated with respect and have their rights recognized. It means all children fully participate in education, social activities and community, access to health, identification and registration and can live in families.
Disability inclusion means breaking down barriers to promote a society that values diversity and accessibility for everyone. In 2023, CTWWC Kenya included a disability inclusion reflection learning exercise aimed at collecting views and feedback, and documenting how the initiative had impacted on lives of caregivers and children with disabilities, and how disability issues were be included in the care reform agenda.
This insight document is a summary of what came from that reflection and the lessons for care reform in Kenya.
