Social inclusion people with disabilities

Osobe s invaliditetom dugi su niz godina bile su institucionalizirane i marginalizirane u društvu. Iako je Zakonom zabranjena diskriminacija po osnovi invaliditeta, još su uvijek u javnosti prisutne predrasude, stigma i diskriminacija. Na razne načine dolazi do diskriminacije osoba s invaliditetom, a ista je vidljiva i u sustavu obrazovanja, zapošljavanja, sporta. Razvojem svijesti društva o vrijednosti svakog pojedinca javlja se inkluzija kao pokret u okviru socijalnog modela. Inkluzija označava uključenost, obuhvaćenost, pripadnost. Inkluzija sama po sebi ne podrazumijeva izjednačavanje svih ljudi, već uvažavanje različitosti svakog pojedinca kojem pruža mogućnost odlučivanja o vlastitom životu i preuzimanja odgovornosti. Inkluzija promovira aktivnosti koje pomažu osobama s invaliditetom da razviju svoj puni individualni potencijal, postanu samostalni i sudjeluju u široj društvenoj zajednici. Uz to, potiče deinstitucionalizaciju te razvija svijest okoline o važnosti prihvaćanja u zajednici. Društvo je potrebno što više educirati o osobama s invaliditetom te pažnju usmjeriti na njihove sposobnosti i potencijalePeople with disabilities have been institutionalized and marginalized in society for many years.

Inclusion in itself does not imply the equalization of all people, but accept the differences of each individual who is given the opportunity to decide on his own life and taking his responsibility. Inclusion promotes activities that help people with disabilities to develop their full individual potential, become independent and participate in the wider community social community.
