I read Heidi’s blog called Learning Design for All .

I found her posts very interesting and eye-opening at the same time.  After looking at Shelly Moore’s evolution of inclusion image that Heidi shared in her blog, I realized I’ve been slightly misunderstanding the idea of “inclusion” this whole time.

I knew in my head that all individuals are unique and they learn differently in their own pace. However after reading her post where she says “there is no such thing as an “average” learner, each person is as complex as the next”, I  realized I have been unconsciously categorizing a lot of them as “typical” or “average” learners and some individuals “unique learners”. 

I found the image of dots very helpful to imagine and understand what inclusion actually means and looks like. Heidi’s blog posts reminded me of the importance of giving options to use the support and modification provided for everyone, instead of limiting those to individuals who “seem” to need it.
