OverviewUp
We have no doubt that the Independent Living Project is an important social need that requires the enthusiasm and support of the Foundation, relatives and friends. Most of all, this Project requires the support of our society in its broader context. This includes you, the reader of these words.
We have set ourselves the goal of supporting residents from all sectors of society irrespective of creed or social status, whenever we see that the scheme is suitable for personal advancement of the PcDI. The challenge is enormous as is our commitment but we need your help to get to meet this social need.

Social leader in your membership circle:
It is very important to disseminate the available information of the standardized treatment paradigm for PcDI, your action can make a difference in your community. We are all born with different capacities and is part of our own duty to treat others with respect and human warmth.
We will present several examples and reflections that look for essentially the same:” treat your neighbor as you'd like to be treated in that condition”, treat a person with intellectual disabilities like a normal person, do not over support them nor under support them .Do not do what they can do but support them in what they are learning or what they cannot do, guide them, do not judge nor overprotect. Your actions can transform your circle of belonging in a capacitating environment for them.
Also, as a society, we must convey to children the awareness of respect for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, without judging them by their appearance or their limitations and teach them to live with them, accepting their differences.
Remember that they has the same emotional needs (and other needs), than any other person of his age.
We´ll appreciate your support in your circle of membership and any support for our institution or to any other institution that supports Intellectual Disability in any form. Below there are a list of Mexican institutions that look for support to people with intellectual disabilities in different ways. - References for Candidates: We are opening a list of Potential Candidates to become members of the Foundation, be it with a good monetary possibility or by way of Scholarships. If you know someone who could benefit from our project, please talk to them & send us all the pertinent information to contacto_via@incluyeme.org, as we move forward we will contact them; at present we have a list of more than 250 possible contacts & the list keeps on growing thanks to people like you.

Support work patterns: If you have a business or you can influence over if people with intellectual disabilities could be engaged in one, your support will be appreciated.
There exist a group of institutions that support the inclusion at work, such as CAPyS http://www.paginasprodigy.com/capys/index2.htm and Confe www.confe.org.mx that have processes and procedures for training and support companies and PcDI to integrate successfully at job in society.
It will be a great stimulus for each people with intellectual disabilities to have jobs and goals in it, and that their job be recognized to the extent that they are obtaining achievements.
Foundation IncludeMe supports and encourages such actions apparently unrelated to its mission, but the truth is that they are completely linked, because a good job supporting the quality of adult life, regardless of whether this by income, supports them further in his autodetermination and self-esteem.

Support product consumption: Within the normalizing paradigm, we that promote this product believe that products produced by PCDI must be purchased for their quality, no matter who produced them.
Here are a series of articles that will be on sale soon in our boutique, but if you request , we will contact you directly with the supplier.
Fortunately there are several institutions that develop market products that are involved people with intellectual disabilities in the manufacture, similarly there are several companies that consume them for their quality and offer no mention of who produced them. Our intention is to continue promoting this normalizing scheme and offer in our boutique another option of distribution and income for resources for PCDI and the Foundation.
