Hi guys today is #whatinclusionlookslike twitter chat today. 2pm so I thought I'd show you /tell you.
Inclusion is having parents read your bedtime stories and expose you to books about different cultures and races. Inclusion is knowing that college is expected of you when you graduate high school
Inclusion means having access to the playroom at the same time as your siblings.

Inclusion is playing sports on traditional recreation leagues
And playing Piano (or doing whatever after school activities that you / parents want not just the things for kids with disabilities
Inclusion is about going on field trips with your class because you are just another student
Inclusion is about knowing your siblings friends because you go to school with them.
Its being able to play sports on the same team as your siblings
Its about being on the School team ( even if its just a practice team)
Or Being a Team Manager
Its about going to your high school's Senior Prom with a date.
Its about being a leader and educating others about things you care about . I founded a Disability Awareness Club back in high school.
Its about having General Education Professors be friending you to the point where they find some Green to wear on World Cerebral Palsy Day then wanting to take a picture to put on their Instragram
So to rap it up
Inclusion is
LOVE
HOPE
KINDNESS
FAMILY MEMORIES
AND CELEBRATIONS
LOTS AND LOTS OF CELEBRATIONS
FOR THINGS BOTH BIG AND SMALL
