This chapter will discuss the importance of inclusion for all students in and outside of the classroom from the author's experiences in the K-16 educational systems as a blind student. Her chapter will offer personal examples of the negative impact exclusion and ableism can have on a person with a disability. Additionally, she will recount instances of inclusion that have shaped who she is. This chapter will offer advice for educators on how to ensure social justice for students with disabilities so that it is central in their classroom pedagogy.
