What does INCLUSION mean to you?
“Inclusion is working together where everyone is included regardless of ability”
“Inclusion is recognizing that everyone has something of value to contribute. It’s ensuring that the marginalized have a seat at the table and know they belong.”
“Inclusion for me is for my daughter to have a chance to interact with her typical developing peers within her age group, to help her and her peers to learn and grow together.”
“Having the opportunity to live and exist as a contributing member of the community while being valued for one’s abilities and uniqueness… regardless of disability.”
