  The Organization for Inclusion, Acceptance, and Respect promotes and informs everyone about the concept of Inclusion. The OIAR focuses on Inclusion as a philosophy that benefits society through education. Inclusion should be a goal of education and the foundation of society, bringing all types of students and people together to create a social or school environment that is based on acceptance, belonging, and a respect for everyone. We all need to learn how to live with each other. Inclusion teaches us how.

  1.    Include and invite alter-abled individuals into your lives.

  2.    At least try to accept individuals for who they are. Try to act either through expression or by conduct with admittance or approval so that all individuals feel they are being regarded as normal.

  3.    Truly respect individuals everyday, anyway you can.
