Abstract

History has shown us that barriers can be diminished or overcome for individuals with disabilities when they are provided with inclusive choices. During the pandemic, everyone experienced a level of isolation and restrictions to their activities. A person with a disability may deal with feelings of isolation and likely feel restricted every day. Education can inspire change and motivate people to respond to the needs of others. Improving health equity for the vulnerable and disabled is an attainable goal.
