productive and included in schools, communities, and places
of employment. In pursuit of this mission, IRI engages

|
-
Working
with people with disabilities to support and foster independence, productivity, and inclusion by drawing upon resources in the community. An
emphasis is placed on education, training, work and community life.

Working

responsibility for their well-being.
-
Identifying community resources for people with disabilities.
-
Educating

Inclusion Research Institute (IRI) has
national credentials for identifying, recruiting and
preparing people with disabilities and their advocates to
participate effectively in policy-making. In addition,

with significant disabilities and their families to become
