Inclusive Health What is inclusive health? Inclusive health is defined as the inclusion of those with ID in mainstream health policies and laws, programming, and services, training programs, research, and funding streams.
Inclusive Health (cont.) What are some examples of inclusive health practices, policies, laws and programs? Inclusive health practices, policies, laws and programs represent norms, guidelines and/or activities to ensure that all people have equal access to health and health services. The key for inclusive health is finding solutions that are matched to barriers.
