Promoting the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in mainstream extended services is a commendable effort that requires a multi-faceted approach.

Accessibility audits of extended services, such as public transportation, educational institutions, and recreational centers, are necessary. Identify and address physical and digital barriers that may hinder the participation of individuals with disabilities.

Provide training programs for service providers, staff, and the community to raise awareness about the needs of individuals with disabilities. It can help create a more inclusive and understanding environment. Policies for reasonable accommodations to support individuals with disabilities would be beneficial. Flexible work schedules, assistive technologies, and facility modifications ensure equal access.

Ensure that extended services are accessible to all, regardless of ability, by embracing universal design principles. It includes designing spaces, technologies, and communication materials that people with diverse capabilities can use.
