27. “ I work with AmeriCorps Service for 1 year. I have no interpreter. I only need an interpreter for meetings. I don't need that for work. I just write a note with some members and I taught some members some basic sign language like: "work, breaktime, what, where, why, toilet, see you later, bye, and hi". I can read lips a little bit, not long sentences just two or three words.” -Kevin Pacheco Hoopa AmeriCorps on Native Lands

When we talk about “inclusion”, this is what we mean
The same disability can impact an individual differently so therefore it is important to not make generalizations. Do not let fear of making a mistake, fear of saying the wrong thing, or fear of the unknown make you hesitant to interact with an individual with a disability. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it and move on. If you are ever unsure of what to do, ask. For example: When someone is Deaf, do no speak with exaggerated slowness or with exaggerated facial expressions. When there are companions/interpreters present, always direct your comments to the person with the disability. Do not assume that because a person may not speak they are unable to understand or hear you. When helping a person who is blind, allow him/her to hold your arm. This way, he/she will be able to walk slightly behind you and get a sense of what to expect from the motion of your body. Ask if people want verbal cues as to what is ahead, approaching steps, curbs and barriers. Remember to relax.
When addressing an individual with a disability, the most acceptable way is to either address the person by name or to use person-first language such as an individual who is blind instead of a blind person. If you are unsure of how to address someone, it is acceptable to ask instead of making an assumption of how that individual would like to be addressed by others.
Notes about the pictures: The top picture shows people in wheelchairs at a protest, the bottom picture is of Ed Roberts who described his wheelchair as an instrument of his freedom

Site Directors will lead their group in identifying as many examples of UD as possible. Keep in mind, these examples can be almost anything, as long as they help everyone have equal access. Groups will need to explain any examples they list that are not obviously universal design. Encourage your group to focus on the things they have control over (ie they may not have control over the design of the rest room in your building, but they have control over how information is presented in their classrooms or at meetings)

As individual service sites, groups will share goals and discuss: Are these realistic goals? What will we need to do to assure that we reach these goals? How can we work together?
