“What does it take to ask, and to enhance our skills in the art of asking?
David Schwartz identified that one of the major reasons why individuals with a disability continue to be excluded from the richness and diversity of community is that we have simply failed to ask community members to both welcome and support people with a disability to be of their community.
John McKnight adds further to this stating. . . effective community builders need to know not just why they are asking but who to ask, how to ask, when to ask, and where to ask. As askers, we need to be ask prepared.”
