I ❤️providing in-person PD on co-teaching, but after a 1-2 day session, teams still need support. For this reason, I've developed this event with 20 vids on topics ranging from duet teaching to "boomerang" collaboration to using social media to strengthen skills. inclusionrules.com/membership-2...

PBS KIDS has a new show featuring a character who uses a communication device. Sometimes it's not just about inclusion, it's about representation. #assistivetechnology #representationmatters www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/10/08/p...

A groundbreaking children's television show is set to introduce a new character who is largely non-speaking and communicates with the help of a special speech tablet.

Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.

WE KICK OFF AUG 1st!!!

I do a lot of co-teaching PD & really enjoy that work. However, 1-2 days of PD can only go so far in helping teams build skills/answer ?s. Therefore, I've developed an event w/ 2 dozen sessions (e.g., duet teaching, AI, planning). Join us? inclusionrules.com/membership-2...

5th Annual Co-Teaching Kickoff: inclusionrules.com
A lack of training is one of the most significant barriers to the successful implementation of co-teaching.

New DOWNLOADS available on my site-- useful for communication, collaboration and problem solving. Many can also be used for in-house informal PD (e.g., co-teaching check ins, book club ?s). Take what you need and pass on to anyone who is supporting inclusive classrooms: inclusionrules.com/downloads/

Dignity & respect…

Thinking Person's Guide to Autism @thinkingautism.com · Jul 22

No one should talk to an autistic adult like they are a child. That's about respect; remember people with developmental disabilities have the lifetime experience of their age. And please try not to call people "buddy" or ask them for a high five unless you already know they are OK with those things.
