#30yearsofInclusion – Inclusion Europe turns 30 in 2018!

We celebrated with you at our anniversary event, by portraying our Inclusion Heroes, and we also want to share our TOP 3 with you:

• What are 30 highlights from the past years?
• What are the 10 most important issues we worked on this year?
• And what are the 10 things we want to see happening in the near future?

Below is part 3 of our series:

Our themes for the next years

The 10 things we want to see happening in Europe in the near future:

1. Everyone with an intellectual disability has their legal capacity recognised, and has the right to vote.
2. Institutions are gone. People live independently and get support in the community.
3. Every child can get an inclusive education at a mainstream school.
4. Websites, ticketing machines, information from public authorities and companies …: Everything is accessible and easy-to-understand.
5. People with intellectual disabilities are in paid work and receive fair pay.
6. People with intellectual disabilities can easily get the healthcare they need. Their specific situation is taken into account by hospital staff.
7. Women with intellectual disabilities are no longer discriminated against. They can live without the fear of abuse.
8. Parents with intellectual disabilities get the assistance they need so they can raise their children.
9. People with complex support needs are no longer seen as a “special case”, as people that cannot be included: They are part of society.
10. Family members of people with intellectual disabilities get the right support: financially, emotionally and through support persons, so they can be just that: family members.

We want the things on this list
to happen:

1. Every person with intellectual disabilities
   has full legal capacity
   and can enjoy their right to vote.

2. Every institution is finally closed.
   Every person with intellectual disabilities
   can live independently
   and be part of the community.

3. Every child with intellectual disabilities
   can go to the same school
   as other children
   and get an inclusive education.

4. The things that we use every day
   are accessible.
   Information is easy to understand.

5. People with intellectual disabilities
   have a job which pays well.

6. People with intellectual disabilities
   can see doctors
   who listen to them
   and take them seriously.

7. Women with intellectual disabilities
   can feel safe.
   They do not need to be afraid of abuse.

8. Parents with intellectual disabilities
   get the support they need
   so they can have children.

9. People with complex support needs
   are not seen as different.
   They are included in the community.

10. When you have a child
    who has an intellectual disability
    you can get the support you need:
    money and people who help you
    care for your child.
