Agenda

• Defining Inclusion: Do We Know It When We See It?• Identifying Campus Resources• Sharing Examples of a Whole Campus Approach• Determining Next Steps

What words come to mind when you think about campus

inclusion?

Write those words on the post-its provided.

Post your words near the images in the room that best

illustrate your idea of inclusion.

Challenge

The examples shared do not represent the experience of

many students with ID on college

campuses

Challenge

Yet, most programs

would describe

themselves as

“inclusive.”

What practices lead to segregation?

Where is the disconnect?

Addressing the Issue• Building Inclusive Communities

Special Interest Group at Think College

• Involved a Variety of Stakeholders• Conducted a Literature Review• Collaborated with interested parties• Developed a draft definition of what

it means to be an inclusive campus community

What is inclusion?• A right• A mindset• Belonging• Partnership/reciprocity• Personal Choice• The Same

Whole Campus Approach to Service Delivery

• Students are members of the college, not a program• Typical college resources are used whenever possible, not parallel systems• Campus access is the same as it is for all students

Whole Campus Approach to Service Delivery

• Programs do not create policies and practices that separate and segregate

• Students with ID are seen as valued members of the community

• The whole campus is committed to the students being there – there is administrative support

Brainstorm and Discussion

In small groups, generate examples of

inclusive campus programs.

Where would they be housed?Who would provide support?To what would students have access?What classes would students take?

How does one foster a whole campus approach?
