http://www.washington.edu/doit/Video/ 


University of Washington


GREAT VIDEO'S about INCLUSION!!!


Check out this website  http://www.washington.edu/doit/Stem/about.html


AccessSTEM implements evidence-based practices to increase the numbers of individuals with disabilities moving through critical junctures to STEM careers.


Interventions: Students with disabilities participate in mentoring and peer support communities, job shadows, informational interviews, internships, leadership events, and other best practices that support STEM education and career transitions.


There is so much support in written word out there to help teachers and administrators with the IDEA of including students like my daughter Mariah into Gen. Ed classrooms and those with any number of disabilities. I speak up most often for individuals with DOWN SYNDROME mainly, because that is what I know best and I know for a fact individuals with Down syndrome are systematically pre-judged and too many have an automatic low expectation of their abilities. I know this for a fact ~ I live it ~ my friends live it! 


We want more for them and the next generation!


HIGH EXPECTATIONS ~ Is that too much to ask for them in all they do in school and everyday?


TEACH MY Peeps with Down sydrome and expect MORE from them! PUSH THEM to their potential!


When will there be PEER BUDDIES in every school?
