From the Ted Talk by Meghan Hussey: 4 ways to design a disability-friendly future
Unscramble the Blue Letters
I returned to China on a fgbuhilrt scholarship to do research on education and programs for autistic adeoscntles and adults. I then went on to do rreseach or work with disability organizations in places like Tanzania, Ireland and sotuh Africa. I now work globally with Special Olympics, using sport as a platform to teach and pmtoroe inclusive attitudes. And what I found is that all over the world, even though countries' specific cultural conxtet or systems might be different, the underlying problem of attitude barriers remains the same. And the research backs me up. The second most cited barriers to inclusion, after lack of data, is negative attitudes towards diilaibsty.

I returned to China on a Fulbright scholarship to do research on education and programs for autistic adolescents and adults. I then went on to do research or work with disability organizations in places like Tanzania, Ireland and South Africa. I now work globally with Special Olympics, using sport as a platform to teach and promote inclusive attitudes. And what I found is that all over the world, even though countries' specific cultural context or systems might be different, the underlying problem of attitude barriers remains the same. And the research backs me up. The second most cited barriers to inclusion, after lack of data, is negative attitudes towards disability.
