Start with access and participation
Review daily activities and ask who is missing, and why. Barriers are often practical: timing, transportation, communication style, or unclear expectations.
Adjustments should focus on meaningful participation, not just physical presence. Starting with [respectful language](/learn/respectful-language-and-inclusion-philippines-context) helps set the tone.
Build support around real relationships
People thrive when they are known personally, not managed as a category. Encourage consistent relationships across family, school, and community spaces.
Inclusion improves when people feel safe to ask for help and share their preferences openly. [Building belonging](/learn/building-belonging-for-people-with-intellectual-disabilities) requires consistent presence and genuine connection.
