Listen "Why "All Means All" Has Never Included "Them"- Dr. Cheryl Jorgenson"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Dr. Cheryl Jorgenson responds to this question: "why have the numbers not changed in the past ten years when it comes to inclusive placements for students with extensive support needs?". Are decisions to place students with complex needs in lesser restrictive environments made by genuinely considering what is best for our students, or do we make decisions based on what we, educators and related service providers, are good at? Do school-based OTPs understand the educational system and our place in supporting inclusive placements? Listen on to learn more. This is a very insightful conversation with Dr. Jorgenson, a trailblazer in inclusive education.
