In this frank and informative article, Sandra Seymour speaks about what led her to a total commitment to inclusive education, not just for her son but for all children. She warns that proposed legislation places inclusive education at risk and that parents need to be aware of the hurdles facing them and their children. Believing that parents need to 'get smart' when dealing with the education system, she offers a wealth of advice to parents, exhorting them to hold onto their vision of inclusion.
