IDEA Inclusion Project

Law Student: Barbara Dyer

In this project a law student who is also the parent of a child with Down
syndrome and a strong lay advocate for the educational rights of children
with disabilities, worked with graphic designers, a choreographer, and a
group of young, variously abled dancers to produce an installation and
performance event where the children danced among a forest of panels
arrayed with information about the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act.  Both the dance and the visual display highlighted the legal rights
of children with disabilities, as well as the educational value to all
students that flow from fully inclusive learning environments.
