“This is the beauty of inclusion”: A Success Story from Lisa Friedman

The Inclusion Lab is thrilled to welcome Lisa Friedman, a highly regarded speaker and expert in the field of Jewish Special Education and Inclusion. She maintains an excellent blog, Removing the Stumbling Block, where she posts about the philosophy and practice of inclusion within and outside of schools, media images of disability, the process of building more inclusive faith communities, and more. Lisa wrote in recently with a story that perfectly sums up the beauty of inclusion—and then answered a few followup questions. It’s my pleasure to share her story and responses below.
