Disability: Making CLTS Fully Inclusive

This issue of Frontiers of CLTS focuses on people with disabilities and particular needs for access. There are many forms of disability, including mobility impairments, sensory impairments (affecting sight or hearing), chronic illness, impairments caused by older age or mental health issues. People affected tend not to be present at triggering, to lack voice in the community, to have their needs overlooked, and may even be hidden by their families. This issue outlines the reality of the experiences of people with disabilities, the varied nature of their needs and how they can be met, and concludes with practical recommendations for facilitators and all those engaged in CLTS to make the different phases and processes of CLTS more inclusive.
