I have worked in all aspects of spec educ from teaching self contained, Ss who need the most significant supports, co-teaching, etc. This speaks to the struggle I eventually came to. Why do we still follow the medical model? Great read!

The Drury family is heartbroken. Our thoughts are with Mercedes' family and friends. We send them our love and I pray that they may receive God's peace in this time of loss. This has touched us all.

Incredibly important points being made. 1. Are your DEI practices specifically including individuals with disabilities and 2. True equity exists, not just a form of "tokenism".
