SCREENING CO-SPONSORED BY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER, THE INSTITUTE ON DISABILITY/UCED (University of New Hampshire), GIRL SCOUTS
New Hampshire photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about inclusion before he had his son Samuel eight years ago. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Habib’s film Including Samuel examines the social and educational inclusion of youth with disabilities.The film documents the Habib family’s journey as they work to include Samuel in all facets of their lives, a journey that transforms all of them. Including Samuel also features four other families with varied inclusion experiences, plus interviews with dozens of teachers, young people, parents and disability rights experts.
“Including Samuel is a must-see.” -- EXCEPTIONAL PARENT MAGAZINE
“Including Samuel is deeply personal. It deals not only with inclusion in school and the community but with the challenges of successfully including a child with severe disabilities in family life.” -- BOSTON GLOBE
“Samuel has bright eyes, a robust smile and a strong will...Including Samuel in all aspects of life became a mission for the Habib family.” -- MICHELE NORRIS, NPR’S ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
“The film is an incredible resource for people who teach courses about inclusion, who offer workshops about inclusion, and who just want to learn about inclusion. It will also be very reassuring for parents.” -- DOUGLAS BIKLEN, DEAN, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
