Here are the key takeaways from the April 2, 2024 'Making Spaces Inclusive and Accessible: A Conversation on Intellectual Disabilities and Equity' hosted by the American Public Health Association: - Healthcare professionals need more training and experience to support people with disabilities effectively. Call to action: Implement disability-focused education and hands-on training programs for healthcare workers. - Poor coordination between providers and lack of accessibility create barriers to care for people with disabilities. Call to action: Establish integrated care models and enforce ADA requirements to improve access. - Stigma and lack of understanding fuel discrimination against people with disabilities. Call to action: Launch public awareness campaigns and sensitivity training for groups like law enforcement. - Inadequate funding and resource allocation limit disability services and support. Call to action: Re-evaluate budgets and increase funding for programs that empower people with disabilities to live fully. The key is centering the needs and perspectives of disabled individuals, treating them with respect, and taking concrete steps to dismantle barriers. Community organizations and loved ones should offer support while respecting autonomy. #NPHW2024
