Summary: <p>Today on the podcast, a rare solo episode about why I call myself an inclusionist.</p> <p>For some, the word "inclusionist" has a negative association. I make the case that there is more to the word than just believing that we should get rid of special education or that inclusion only counts if it is "100%."</p> <p>I tell the story of my inclusion journey and how it led me to what I am doing now, advocating for the full and authentic inclusion for students with disabilities.</p> <p>Thanks for your time and attention!</p> <p>TV</p> <p>This episode's transcript can be found <a href="https://c80acee1-5663-46ff-a2d6-b4cf328e0b7f.usrfiles.com/ugd/c80ace_10cc7eff3e374ed98d7a2571a863606a.pdf">here</a>.</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://www.thinkinclusive.us/">Think Inclusive</a> for more information about inclusive education.</p> <p>Have questions or comments?
