The right to quality healthcare is a universal right and one that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities struggle to access. Everyone should have the opportunity to be healthy. Special Olympics is working to make health systems more inclusive and reduce the health disparities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities. Patients with intellectual disabilities commonly experience communication gaps, lack of information, and limited access to quality care. Today, on #WorldHealthDay, we join the @WHO in supporting universal access to health care. #InclusionRevolution

Did you know that in Google Maps you can select the 'wheelchair accessible*' route? The option is found within ‘Transit’, in ‘route options’, below other options such as ‘fewer transfers’ or ‘less walking’. *Check availability in your country.

Action truly speaks louder than words. Here's three ways YOU can make an impact: Respect- Share positivity, everyone deserves to be treated fairly. Recognize- Understand that everyone is different. Rejoice- Celebrate each other's differences. #PledgetoInclude

#AutismAcceptance includes acceptance that autism is a spectrum! Understanding this spectrum is important to creating a more inclusive and accommodating world for autistic folks. When we say autism is a spectrum, we mean that Autism does not look the same in any two people!
