Wheeling with new wheels

Yesterday I went to a program in which people with and without disabilities performed a dance routine. What a wonderful way to decrease stigma and increase social capital- inclusion! The people said that it's becoming more recognized. Agency staff in the audience said it helped people with autism focus better on tasks. There are so many benefits from this and I hope more programs like this are starting. Mostly, I hope funders including insurances see the value in this. Music is a universal language and has been known to really make big strides for people who are largely non verbal and have intellectual challenges. We must help people without disabilities see the value in this type of program.
