Inspiring inclusion by hearing real stories with Scott Whitney Wonderfully Wired

    • Parenting

I took what I thought was a diversion into talking about physical disability inclusion with Scott Whitney of All4Inclusion and found that to see difference, to support challenges and to really celebrate gifts we must hear real stories of people with lived experience different to our own.
As part  of creating teacher training material on inclusion I collaborated with Scott Whitney to talk about living with disability and what it would take to create more inclusive schools.
“The strong cannot be brave.  Only the weak can be brave; and yet again, in practice, only those who can be brave can be trusted, in time of doubt, to be strong.  The only way in which a giant could really keep himself in training against the inevitable Jack would be by continually fighting other giants ten times as big as himself.  That is by ceasing to be a giant and becoming a Jack.”
Heretics, G.K. Chesterton
