Children can show love in the smallest ways yet their actions can make the biggest difference. At Partners In Learning, we don't only believe in inclusion, we practice inclusion. Inclusion is characterized by a feeling of belonging, not by mere proximity, but in children of all abilities learning, playing, and working together. All children are actively involved, physically accessing play and work locations, and have options from which they can choose personally. Inclusion is a process, not a placement. In this photo two children with different abilities came together to help each other and show love. "Landon asked to sit together with Lucas and Lucas agreed. Then Lucas helped Landon spell his name like we do each day at the end to pick our jobs. After Lucas would say the letter Landon would repeat it. It was such an awesome show of how inclusion helps everyone," explains their teacher Krissy Weeks.
