We talk a LOT about inclusion. But why? Why is it important to us to fight for it? Does it actually make a difference in our kids lives? In the lives of their peers? (Yes!)
Today we have an inclusion expert.. former teacher + mother to 4 (and all around education rockstar) Kristin Enriquez, back on the show! She’s giving us practical tips to “create a level playing field” at your next IEP meeting, because don’t forget - inclusion is a RIGHT, not a special privilege. We’re also chatting about how full inclusion has impacted Kristin’s son with Down syndrome and why they continue to pursue it. And don’t miss our tips for supporting students with disabilities in their general education classroom, encouraging our children to be proud of who they are, and reminding their schools who is really responsible for creating the inclusive environment!
