Love Is a Classroom: Stories of Inclusion is a podcast that aims to serve as a bridge for a more inclusive world. Through storytelling and conversation, each series illuminates the collective experience of individuals who strive to break down barriers and foster a more inclusive world for children with disabilities or who are neurodivergent. Together we explore and discover practical ways we can all contribute to building a society where everyone belongs.

How do we include all children, regardless of their native language, behaviors, abilities, and disabilities, in a general education classroom? Do the challenges outweigh the benefits? These are the questions Andrew was forced to confront as an early childhood educator. In Love Is a Classroom, Andrew chronicles a pivotal year in his teaching career. When he took the position at Vista Elementary School, Andrew was confident he knew everything there was to know about including all children in his classroom.
