Collective case-study reveals inclusion experiences in community programs, suggesting a need for cultural shifts.
Experiences of inclusion reflected the culture and practices of each organization, centered on equal and active participation with others, and feelings of belonging and being valued. These experiences were desired, but not common. Rather, othering and ableism were prominent, even in programs that identified as inclusive. Findings can be used to shift how inclusion is envisioned and enacted in community programs.
