In this article, the CDC explains the barriers the disability community has to face. After reviewing extensive resources,

CDC decided to state the attitudinal barriers, communication barriers, physical barriers, policy barriers, programmatic barriers,

social barriers, and transportation barriers. People tend to assume the disability community as “their quality of life is poor or that

they are unhealthy because of their impairments." 15% of people with disabilities are unemployed. Due

to jobs “denying reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, so they can perform the essential functions of

the job for which they have applied or have been hired to perform." The article explores the struggles all people with disabilities tend

to go through. After examining the articles, most of the struggles the disability community goes through is caused by people’s lack of

awareness towards towards the disability community. The CDC explains the disability community goes through attitudinal barriers,

communication barriers, physical barriers, policy barriers, programmatic barriers, social barriers, and transportation barriers. This

article is valuable toward my learning stretch because it helps expand my knowledge towards the struggles the disability community

goes through on the daily basis. This article enhances my knowledge of the daily challenges the disability community faces. The idea

it sparks toward my final product is creating awareness on the challenges

the disability community faces. Everything in the article is usable towards my project.

In this article, CDC explores disability inclusion, and the benefits of it. Using disability inclusion helps by “Including

people with disabilities in activities begins with identifying and eliminating barriers to their participation." Disability inclusion is

important because “disability affects approximate 56.7 million, or nearly 1 in 5 (18.7%) people in the United States living in

communities." The article explains disability inclusion benefits the disability community because it eliminates the report barriers

between people with and without disabilities. After discussing why disability inclusion is beneficial CDC explains its important

The following article gives a view on how supportive housing will help the disability communities live and thrive in a

community. Usually, the disability community tends to have letter barriers with people without disabilities but “Supportive housing

helps people with disabilities live stably in the community." One of the benefits of supportive housing is “People with disabilities in

supportive housing reduce their use of costly systems, especially emergency health care and corrections." These

are some many examples stated in the article explaining why supportive housing can help the disability community. The article

explores ideas on how we can create the supportive housing to help the disability community. The authors explore the benefits of

supportive housing. Supportive housing helps the disability community by improving health, saving money, and living in a stable

community and house. The article is valuable towards my learning stretch because it teaches me the benefits of how a handicapped

accessible community can help create a more friendly environment towards the disability community. This article enhances my

project because it provides evidence on why creating more handicapped accessible communities will vastly benefit the disability

community. The idea it sparks towards my final product is if this evidence to create awareness on how only making the streets more
