Dear Mariah,
What I learned from having you in my class is that just because you're a little bit different doesn't mean you should be treated differently. Even though you have down syndrome you're just like everyone else inside no matter what anyone says or thinks.
In the beginning of the year I was trying to avoid you but I was wrong and rude and now I realize what a good person you are.
I wish I could see you next year.
Your Friend,
Alanah G.

Inclusive education for students with Down syndrome has to be a collaborative process with all involved in education!
