Creating a Culture of Inclusion in Schools and Communities

NEA will be hosting “Creating a Culture of Inclusion in Schools and Communities,” a 90-minute virtual presentation with award-winning documentarian Dan Habib and his son Samuel. Filmmaker and parent-advocate, Dan will screen clips from his many film projects and discuss what it takes to create a culture of inclusion in our schools and communities. His films vividly document evidence-based practices, such as universal design for learning, assistive technology, positive behavioral supports, family engagement, youth leadership, and cultural responsiveness. Samuel, who was featured in his father’s seminal 2008 film Including Samuel, will share the film he co-directed with his father, My Disability Roadmap, and discuss his advocacy for inclusion in his school district, college, and community and his plan for a full adult life.
