My thoughts on the new Hechinger Report article re: Inclusion. “Equal academic performance is not a reasonable goal across Special Education and shouldn’t be the measure of successful inclusion. However, successful inclusion could be a measure of academic integrity.” tinyurl.com/483wer9k

My Medicaid WAIVER funds disability support services in my home and community, which I receive having WAIVED my right to an institutional placement funded by the state. If state and federal cuts to Medicaid and disability service are substantial, I won’t be able to WAIVE that right any more.

I'm gonna live to outlive this malignancy, and even if they live in its shadow my kids have their whole lives ahead of them with the next four years in the rear view. It's not choosing escapism or ignorance to focus on building a bridge to that world starting today.
