Thank you for all you’re doing at Think Inclusively. I first heard you on the Ashley Barlow podcast and knew I needed to add your podcast to my library. My son, who has Down syndrome, has been in 4 different districts and states spanning from preschool to 1st grade. Without educating myself through podcasts and online courses I wouldn’t know how to properly advocate for his inclusive education. Regardless of an out of state IEP stating “general education” for placement, we are always faced with the new district immediately wanting to place him in the most restrictive classroom. I have successfully advocated for him with each move and have successfully proven that inclusive education does work for him. But it’s always a fight to get him there. Thank you for always giving me more tools in my tool belt. We are about to move to district and state #5 and I’m already prepping for advocating. But a small part of me is hopeful we will have a positive welcome and we won’t have much of a battle ahead of us due to more and more parents and educators advocating for inclusive education.
