Dan Habib TEDx talk: Disabling Segregation (IOD NH UCEDD)

May 29, 2014

You might be surprised by the most compelling reason filmmaker Dan Habib makes for inclusive education in his TEDx AmoskeagMillyard talk (Hint: it's not about his son, Samuel!).

The U.S. Department of Education reports that 56% of U.S. students with developmental or intellectual disabilities spend their entire day in special education classrooms. Habib (creator of the documentary films Including Samuel and Who Cares About Kelsey?) used his 18-minute TEDx talk to make a powerful case for ending the systemic segregation of students with disabilities. 

TEDx events are independently produced and based on the TED agenda "to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation."
