for disability inclusion to become a new standard in advertising and we are also working on projects aimed at some of the barriers that exist for people with disability in obtaining representation by casting and model agents . For example , we are trying to build an online talent database for aspiring models and actors with disability .”
Julius is always proud to show off his catalogues , to his teachers and classmates , who are usually pretty impressed , according to Catia .
“ My son Julius goes to the same school as his sisters Laura and Drea , and this is something that I am incredibly passionate about , both in the context of the work of Starting With Julius , that publishes the inclusive education blog ‘ SWJ
IncludED ’, but also as a co-founder of All Means All – The Australian Alliance for Inclusive Education , which is a nationwide stakeholder alliance of parents , educators and academics advocating for inclusive education as a human right and as an evidence-based education modality ,” she said .
“ Inclusive education , like inclusive advertising , is about shaping the next generation to understand that people with disability have a right to equal opportunity and participation in every area of life .
“ Both disrupt the mindset of ‘ special places ’ for ‘ special people ’. Children who grow up together , who experience inclusion everywhere , are more likely to embrace human diversity and to develop ways to
connect better with those who are different to them .
“ Inclusion can never be advanced by placing some of us into separate places – out of sight and out of mind . You cannot build an inclusive society on the shoulders of an education system that considers segregation to be an appropriate response to disability or difference .” www . startingwithjulius . org . au
