Ensuring children and adults with disabilities receive the education, training and employment opportunities they need to succeed.
Entertainment contributes to the values and ideals that define us. What we see, we feel. And what we feel impacts how we act. RespectAbility is reaching out to Hollywood to stand up against ableism and other prejudice – while promoting positive, accurate, diverse and inclusive media portrayals on TV and in film.
Join us on a journey as a city works to change its education, training and employment outcomes for people with disabilities.
The National Leadership Program is ideal for people with and without disabilities who want to go into careers in public policy, advocacy and media while making a positive difference for people with disabilities. We now are accepting applications for Spring 2019. The DEADLINE for Spring 2019 applications is November 20, 2018 but applicants will be considered on a rolling basis. Early applications are encouraged.
Philanthropy and nonprofits are at their best when they represent the people they serve including the one-in-five people who has a disability. RespectAbility offers free tools, resources and customized advice and training to help philanthropists and nonprofits learn how to welcome, include, serve and benefit from the talents of people with physical, learning, sensory, intellectual, mental health and other disabilities who often are left out of the diversity discussion.
Religious communities are stronger when they live up to their values – when they are welcoming, diverse, moral and respect each other. RespectAbility wants our family members with disabilities to be able to fully participate in our community. Thus, RespectAbility offers the following free resources below to all who care about inclusion and equal opportunity.
