Chapter Two: What a Novel Idea

  • Summary

  • Christina and Justin share their journey of advocating for inclusive education for their daughter Harper in general education and their frustrations with their school district's initial placement recommendations. Christina expresses concerns about an upcoming IEP meeting and the possibility of the district pushing for a separate placement for Harper. The episode also features insights from Bre Gastaldi, who visited West Linn-Wilsonville near Portland, Oregon, an inclusive school district. Bre discusses the importance of having school leaders who are supportive and knowledgeable about inclusive practices and highlights the need for strong leadership at the district level to drive systemic change.


    This is part two of a five-part series about families and school districts fully committed to inclusive practices for all learners.
