Shifting our conceptualization of social inclusion
TL;DR: The main challenges in understanding social inclusion are: social inclusion is at risk of being an ideology and may lead to ineffective and potentially harmful strategies; social inclusion, still mainly defined as the acceptance and achievement of the dominant societal values and lifestyle, which may leading to moralistic judgements; socialclusion is often narrowly defined and measured as productivity and independent living, which is inappropriate for people with more severe disabilities; and social inclusion was often limited to the measure of one's participation in community-based activities.
