To emphasize the need for inclusion into school and the community so that children with severe, as well as more moderate, disabilities grow up with the relationships and support networks required for independent and fulfilled adulthood.
This program examines how inclusion often begins at school for children of varying ages and with disabilities of varying severity. It is about Betsey, a 12-year-old in the sixth grade, and Larissa, three years old and in a community nursery school. Both girls participate with friends in community activities. The program explores the encouraging effect that the girls' participation has on their families' views of their children's future.
