The international network of people with intellectual disabilities and their families
Dec 3, 2022 • 7 tweets • 2 min read
On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2022, we acknowledge the contributions and achievements of families throughout our global network.

Today - and everyday, #ThankYouFamilies

#IDPwD #IDPwD2022 #IDPD2022 #IDPD Image Full #inclusion and #participation of people with intellectual disabilities cannot happen without good #support. In most parts of the world, this lifelong support and care is provided by families.

#ThankYouFamilies #IDPwD #IDPwD2022 #IDPD2022 #IDPD “Families are the main source of support for people with intellectual disabilities and a valued part of organisations of persons with intellectual disabilities and their families. Especially people with complex support needs and those who do not communicate in typical ways rely, almost exclusively, on their families to support them and articulate their support needs. Without them, they are invisible and powerless.” Sue Swenson, President of Inclusion International

Hear our key messages from the event in the thread below:
👇 People with intellectual #disabilities are one of the groups most excluded from the labour market - employers tell us that they don’t understand "how" to include people with intellectual disabilities in their workplaces.
