OUR VALUES
An Interdependence paradigm promotes our commonality, not our differences. Such an approach does not concentrate on trying to fix or change the person with the disability. Instead, the focus is on helping individuals gain independence by developing and maintaining meaningful social relationships, based on the persons interests and passions. Indeed, relationship-building is a central tenant of this approach and is just as important for well being as traditional rehabilitation.
RESOURCES
The Interdependence Network identifies and shares emerging best practices that support meaningful community inclusion for people with disabilities. Our resources include monographs, websites, articles, songs, videos, and other resources that foster our capacity to understand social capital and to implement community building strategies in your life and work.
