Fostering tolerance and acceptance with disability education initiatives for organizations is our mission at DHIFI. Each child’s individuality is something that should be celebrated, and this is something we believe in wholeheartedly at DHIFI. Our mission is to give adolescents and children the confidence they need to embrace their individuality and stand proudly with confidence. Our endeavors are crucial in helping young people develop into compassionate and confident individuals. We provide a inclusion of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings to this end.

An Inclusion Curriculum

Advancing inclusivity initiatives for students is the cornerstone of DHIFI’s mission. Our aim is to teach young minds the ways to process their emotions, come up with constructive goals, express empathy, forge meaningful relationships, and make responsible decisions. At DHIFI, we broaden SEL’s scope by inspiring students to embrace their special characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Exchanging narratives: Students boost their self-confidence and break down social boundaries that typically cause bullying, by recounting their own life stories.
  • Accentuating distinctiveness: We enlighten students that their different attributes are merits rather than inadequacies.

Championing self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, promoting regard for various backgrounds, and ensuring a sense of belonging for everyone, no matter their individuality, are key parts of our vision.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
