Introducing Your Weekly Inclusion Tip

Each week our team will recommend an Inclusion Tip, addressing all aspects of diversity, including disability. Including individuals with all abilities need not always be costly, complex or difficult. Most of our Inclusion Tips can be implemented quickly, with little to no expense and integrated within your existing operations, policies and practices. We hope you find these helpful and welcome any feedback. More importantly if you have a successful practice or tip you'd like to share please write us or post on this listserv. All tips will be archived onwww.serviceandinclusion.org/tips

Inclusion Tip #1:

To inform everyone who is using a specific office or cubicle, affix nameplates with a photograph as well as Braille and text name of the individual. People who do not read, have issues with memory or speak another language will benefit from viewing an individual's photograph.

Yours in inclusive service,

Paula Sotnik, Roxy Rocker Jason Wheeler, and Katie Entigar
