Keystone Human Services (KHS) is a non-profit organization that is a part of a global movement to provide support and expertise to people with disabilities.
Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) work alongside people with disability every day. They provide valuable support for people to be included in society and fully participate at home, school, work, and in the community.
Their work depends on an understanding of human rights. DSPs are essential advocates and partners with people with disability to prevent exclusion and discrimination, and encourage and support people to make decisions, participate in the community, and control their own lives.
DSPs are part of the global advocacy movement, working alongside people with disability as they advocate for inclusion and respect.
Listen Include Respect is a set of global guidelines developed by Inclusion International and Down Syndrome International, with support from self-advocate leaders around the world. These guidelines are designed to help organizations in all sectors to ensure their work is inclusive so people with intellectual disability can fully participate.
Our work in the coming year builds on the ideas started at the inaugural June Summit in 2019, where we discussed the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). You can revisit those ideas through the international panelists’ personal perspectives and stories on inclusion, deinstitutionalization, and human rights.
