Inclusion isn't a program or place. Inclusion isn't just about school.  Inclusion is a philosophical commitment that recognizes a right to a sense of welcome and belonging.  Inclusion means that all people, regardless of their abilities, have the right to be respected and appreciated as valuable members of their communities.
