Inclusion is a subject that most parents of children with special needs can't help but worry about. Whether you're fighting to get your child the same school experience as every other student, or worrying that swimming in the mainstream will cause your child to drown, it's an issue that has resonance every time we send our kids into a school building.
Photojournalist Dan Habib was introduced to that particular world of worry when his son was born with cerebral palsy. His documentary film Including Samuel looks at the classroom accomodations that have been made for Habib's son, and at the positive and negative experiences of other special-needs children as they have worked to find their way in school and society.
From the Including Samuel site, you can view a 12-minute preview of the film; watch clips and slide shows on particular topics; order a DVD of the complete 55-minute documentary; or find out about screenings in your area.
