Inclusion

The inclusion of people with disabilities, with or without special accommodations, in
programs, activities, and facilities with their non-disabled peers.

Independent Living

This concept involves the belief that people with disabilities should have the
same choice, control and freedom over their lives as other people in society. This means: Greater
choice and control over any assistance needed to go about everyday life Access to housing,
transport, health, social care, education, employment and other services and opportunities
Participation in family, community and civic life. Independent Living is a reaction to the tendency
in the past of grouping people with disabilities into specialised homes, which alienates them from
the community.
