Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. Today I had a wonderful experience in political advocacy, and I’m hoping what happened will show how easy it truly is to have an impact. We arranged a time for him to come to our home and it happened to be near the time of one of our Birth to 3 (early intervention) therapies. I let our occupational therapist know ahead of time, and she consented to running an OT session with the senator there. To know their constituents&...

Inclusion | Growing a Tree
https://growingatree.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/inclusion
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. Inclusion is an incredibly touchy subject, and everyone has a unique opinion. It is probably one of the most contested subjects in the world of disability rights. I’m going to put a stake in the ground here and now. I think it is in the best interests of individuals with disabilities to have full inclusion. There is no such thing as part-time inclusion – either you’re included or you’re not. No more forcing functional sk...

Simple Question | Growing a Tree
https://growingatree.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/simple-question
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. I recently had the pleasure of hearing Kathie Snow. She asked a simple question: on your deathbed, will you look back and think “I’m so glad I could walk” or “I’m so glad I had appropriate behaviors”? I think the vast majority of us would not think about that, but would think about the people we loved, the places we had been, the things we had accomplished. We need to ask, and then we really need to. Newer Entry →. Fill ...

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. In my last post, I talked about inclusion, and some of the things I said are very tall orders. There’s something I want to add to that conversation because I think there is a little nuance missing. 8221; but “how do we best serve a student for whom full inclusion is not the best option? If that becomes the thing to consider, the thing the IEP team has to sit down and really mull over, the hope would be that pull-outs, se...
