INCLUSION BEGINS WITH EDUCATION.
A lot of times, people exclude those with disabilities because they are not informed on disabilities in general.

Additionally, inclusion begins with us. If people see others being inclusive, they may be more likely to be inclusive themselves. When in doubt, include others -- it never hurts to be kind.
