When Education Stops Sorting and Starts Serving
Kevin, a middle school student with autism, once described special education as spending all day doing "what you're not good at." His words cut to the heart of everything broken in how we educate children who learn differently. But Kevin's story didn't end there. When his family moved him from a segregated classroom into general education with proper supports, everything changed. He graduated with honors, earned an engineering degree, and now works for a company that specifically values autistic employees for their analytical gifts. His journey reveals a profound truth: when we design schools for everyone, we unlock potential we never knew existed. The irony? While our world grows more accessible-voice recognition, screen readers, adaptive technology everywhere-our schools still systematically separate students with and without disabilities, as if proximity itself were dangerous. For two centuries, we've approached disability through a medical lens, cataloging impairments and focusing on "fixing" individuals rather than examining the barriers we've built. One superintendent put it bluntly: "Show me your master schedule, and I'll tell you what your values are." Those schedules often reveal the uncomfortable truth-separate classrooms, isolated programs, limited intersection between students with and without disabilities.
