“When everyone is included, everyone wins.”

— Jesse Jackson

Karen Krejcha is the founder of Autism Empowerment--a nonprofit organization that advocates for the autistic community, host of the Autism Empowerment Podcast, and the editor and columnist of Spectrum Life Magazine. Besides this, she is the mother of two boys on the autism spectrum and an autist herself.

Karen’s vision of inclusion goes beyond the four walls of the school building. She sees inclusion through the lens of community and uses her position to create more inclusive environments in the neighborhoods surrounding the school.

In this season we are looking at inclusion and how creating more inclusive environments provides spaces where all learners can thrive.

We will be learning from teachers and advocates who will help us gain perspective on what inclusion means and how educators can be intentional as they create more inclusive environments.

We’ll find out about common barriers that prevent inclusion, some ways inclusion is done well, and how general education teachers can partner with both special education teachers and community members to take our learners… beyond the curriculum.
