Lay the foundation for inclusive, impactful classrooms where every student thrives

Every student deserves an education that is meaningful, memorable, and built for them. When we design learning with intentional, universal support, the impact extends beyond individual students—it transforms entire classrooms.

In Every Child Deserves a Special Education, the authors introduce five powerful mindframes that reshape the way we think about teaching, learning, and inclusion. These mindframes spark a cycle of reflection and growth, shifting not just what we do, but how we see our students, our classrooms, and our role as educators. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Five essential educator mindframes—helping you plan for both diverse learners and the diversity within each learner
  • Stories and examples that bring these mindframes to life through real classroom experiences
  • Reflection tools to help you examine and refine your own beliefs and practices

True inclusion starts with how we think, not just what we do. Every Child Deserves a Special Education will help you build the mindset every classroom needs for all students to thrive.
