The International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IPDP) is December 3
Celebrating the Contributions & Inclusion of People with Disabilities
Every year on December 3, people around the world celebrate the contributions and inclusion of people with disabilities with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD).At 4Seasons, it's our mission to empower students living with disabilities. It's because of the compassion our community of Transfer Care Specialists show our students each day, that these students are able to gain equal access to education and experience all the opportunities they deserve. Without accessible school bussing, many of these children wouldn't have any other transportation option and wouldn't be able to go to school, learn, play, and create meaningful connections.
15% of the globe’s population and has a disability.
That’s the largest minority group population in the world. Yet, those with disabilities are more likely to be unemployed, live in poverty and experience violence.People with disabilities deserve and have a right to the same treatment, resources and opportunities as everyone else. We can all play an important role: it's up to us to take action to create a more inclusive and equal world for those living with disabilities.As a school bus transportation provider to students living with disabilities each day, we know that these children have so much to offer our communities. It’s why we at 4Seasons believe that children living with disabilities should gain an equal opportunity to education and reach their full potential.
This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s focus on the actions we can take to continue to create a more adaptable world for those living with disabilities by ensuring equality and inclusion.
