We’ve also teamed up with our friends over at The AbleGamers Foundation and Understood.org to bring you a panel at SXSWedu about defining the word “Inclusion”.  Panelists of varying backgrounds will look at social justice through a special needs lens. Participants will learn how these experts use “inclusion†to describe the act of intentionally creating and seeking diverse communities that welcome and support people with special needs to learn alongside their typically developing peers. Panelist will share their personal definitions, stories, best practices and will invite others who may or may not share similar backgrounds to do the same. The conversation is not limited to special needs issues, as this practice of equal access, when authentically implemented, is impactful for all learners and communities.Â
