It is never okay to use the R-word, use disability as an insult, or make jokes at the expense of others. When you hear someone use the R-word, take the opportunity to educate them. Provide them with resources and encourage them to take the #pledgetoinclude.
Help build a more inclusive world through your words and actions. Challenge exclusive social norms. Welcome those around you. Be a friend. Be a teammate. Speak up and educate others on the importance of inclusion. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKontERJks6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Provide spaces for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to share their stories and their knowledge. Amplify these stories. Listen, learn, and take action to make your community more inclusive. http://www.spreadtheword.global/pledge 
Make Your Pledge for Inclusion

Be a teammate. Be a friend. Welcome someone who has been left out. Sit next to someone alone at lunch. Say hello to someone in the hallway. There are so many ways to spread inclusion. Choose yours....
