It's Dialogue on Disability Week and we kick off our series of conversations on Connections with a discussion about inclusive recreation activities.
The film “Perfectly Normal for Me”tells the story of three children with disabilities as they prepare for a spring recital as part of their after school dance program. We preview the film and talk with local parents, teachers, and education coordinators about finding a balance between independence and structure for children with special needs, and what inclusion really means. In studio:
- Erin Davis, special education autism teacher at CP Rochester’s Augustin Children's Center
- Michael Radell, education coordinator and camp director at Epilepsy-Pralid, Inc.
- Rachel Rosner, director of education and support services at AutismUp, and parent of two children with autism
