31 for 21, Day 9: Living the Dream - Inclusive Post-Secondary Education

Thanks to Terry and Lianna at My life with Gabriel for posting this awesome video about inclusion. I am so impressed by the work this university is doing. It gives me great hope for Maya.

I really believe that inclusion is the way to go although so many times I hear how it falls short for our young ones.  Because people with Down syndrome learn a little differently than others they can often ignored instead of embraced.  If we could just change the way we thought about people who might look, speak or behave a little differently than us,  I'm sure we could learn so much more from each other.   Great things are happening though and I'm so excited to see this progression.
