Inclusion means making space for every ability.

According to the World Health Organization, 16% of the world’s population experiences significant disability, or 1 in 6 of us.
⁠
Not all disabilities can be seen. Invisible disabilities—like chronic pain, mental health conditions, or neurological differences—can limit or challenge a person’s daily life even if they aren’t visible from the outside.⁠
⁠
That’s why true inclusion at work means going beyond what you can see:⁠
⁠
✅ Listening when someone share their needs⁠
✅ Providing accommodations without judgment⁠
✅ Building cultures of trust and respect

Prehension is another common term that you may have heard mentioned. But what is prehension?

👌The definition of prehension is the act of holding or grasping. The ability to hold and grasp an object in the hand requires prehension of the fingers. Prehension can also refer to the ability to hold a concept or idea in the brain to allow for understanding. Here, we are talking about prehension skills that allow us to manipulate items or objects. We are covering prehension patterns in the way of pinch grips.

👌To break this down further, prehension can be identified in the different types of pinch grips.

👌Tip prehension refers to the ability of the tip of the thumb, or the last joint of the thumb (known as the IP joint) to bend in isolation so that the rest of the thumb is stabile while just the last joint bends, or flexes. This tip prehension works in combination with opposition of the thumb as it rotates at the base, in order to oppose the tip of the index finger.

👌Prehension can refer to the precision of grasp in the index finger as it bends at the PIP joint (proximal interphalangeal joint, or the middle joint of the finger), and the DIP joint (distal interphalangeal joint, or the end joint of the finger). This tip prehension is needed for small motor movements such as picking up a button or coin, threading a needle, etc.

👌There are other types of prehension, like palmer prehension. This dexterity refers to in-hand manipulation, which we cover in other places on this website.

👌Still other types of prehension are included in various grasp patterns. Specific motions of the joints related to each pattern, and stability offered by related joints such as the wrist or metacarpophalangeal joints, and the arches of the hand allow for dexterity and precision of grasp…or prehension!

🙌🏻 🏃‍♀️

Last August 20, our very own Jenah, who is on the autism spectrum, proudly participated in and completed her first-ever 3KM run during the Angat Bayanihan Run in Naga City! 🏅✨

Together with the whole Arisga family, our Directress Ms. Jen, Sir Ronald, and Bem, Jenah took part in this meaningful event that raises funds for charitable causes supported by Angat Buhay.

For Jenah, crossing that 3KM finish line is a milestone worth celebrating. It is a reminder that every child has their own pace, their own strengths, and their own moments to shine. 🌈💙

May this be the first of many runs, and may her journey inspire other children and families to embrace new experiences, take on new challenges, and celebrate every milestone along the way.
