The only reason a civilian needs a weapon of mass destruction is because they want to own the ABILITY to CAUSE mass destruction.

#WeAreD34 where all means all thanks to @GeraghtyMptg3. Celebrating that in paving the path to inclusion, she brings everyone to the table.
First day of @D34Preschool to last day of @SpringmanMiddle. Never was there a student who embraced #WeAreD34 more.
Every school function should have a quiet space for those who need time away from noise or crowds! Such a small offering that can make a huge difference for children and families! Proud of my district for making space for EVERYONE to participate!

My son's teachers are incredible. It has been inspiring to see their commitment to #inclusion, #UDL, and assuming competence for their students.

8thgrade #teacher adapts #Shakespeare Twelfth Night for my son who can't reading (yet). #UDL and #inclusion make it possible to learn the same material as his peers. They read this book w/him to get the main points of the story. This is done for each play or novel.

Poem created via speech-to-text and checked with text-to-speech. My 8th grade son can’t read/write (yet), but he can still access #curriculum and has plenty to say!
I love him so much, too!❤️

🚨#parents, don’t miss this series by @tweetsomemoore on #inclusion in #childcare programs. Discrimination is REAL problem for #kids w/#disabilities in childcare and #preschool. It places your child in a trajectory that is hard to break from.

I have been trying to figure out what I can do in response to Katie Jameson's story of her daughter Kenzie & the discrimination families have experienced in child and youth care programs. I connected with a few colleagues & am excited to share the result. eventbrite.ca/o/shelley-moor…
I really do miss in-person conferences, but I’m not mad about attending the @SAVConference conference while enjoying the rainy day on our screened porch with fresh coffee and a pup.

Loving this new book by @emily_ladau. It should be required reading for everyone, but I want to especially encourage #parents of children with #disabilities to read this! You need this info to be the best you can be for your kids!

Emily also has a free plain language summary and translation here. docs.google.com/document/d/1…
It's @decsped conference week! Loving the flexibility that virtual allows for more people to connect and learn! Excited to moderate a panel of adults w/disabilities on their #earlychildhood experiences and impact this Friday. #DECConference
I wish we’d gotten this for him sooner. He’s so much more confident on this than his other bike.
Also, big ups for the last full day of school! 👍🏼
With the right adapted bike, #inclusion today is riding to middle school with friends for the first time! He was so excited.

Grateful for amazing educators! @District34EC has been rocking it since this rising 8th grader 😬 was in early childhood.
When #teaching new or challenging skills, use a child’s strengths and interests.
Our carousel-lover was all in when his fine motor #OT work (a significant challenge) was framed as creating a carousel. It hung next to his bed for a year.
