Advocacy and Inclusion in the classroom is crucial to people with IDD’s success in the education system. In this episode of IDD: Get to Know Me, Victor and Daniel explore why this is so important and the barriers that exist in creating inclusive classrooms.

Victor takes us back to his high school experiences, when teachers really made a difference—and how they did that. Daniel reflects on his experience of completing his degree in communications at University, and his struggles for acceptance and accommodation. Victor and Daniel highlight the challenges of adapting to new social environments and how neurotypical people can better support those with IDD in the classroom.

Join Victor and Daniel as they share a conversation about their experiences in the classroom, navigating the education system, and fighting for their right to tailored supports and transition services.

Stay tuned for our upcoming episode on the sibling perspective with Nicole Bobbette and Victoria Cusumano.
