Kristy Gillfillan, new staff member of the Hardin County Board of Develomental Disabilities, shared some of the board's projects with Ada Kiwanis members on Nov. 29.
Her talk focused on including social inclusion for the agency’s clients.
What do we mean by social inclusion?
The term, while appearing frequently over the last few years, has yet to be well defined. Although attempts have been made to define social inclusion in ways that can be measured, most efforts have fallen short primarily because of the highly personal, individualized nature of it.
