THROUGH THE SAME DOOR: Inclusion Includes College – DVD

Winner of the 2006 TASH Image Award for the
Positive Portrayal of People with Disabilities
(25 minute DVD captioned for the hard of hearing and the deaf.)

Meet Micah Fialka-Feldman, a man who knows what he wants.

In many ways Micah enjoys a typical life: making friends, participating in college activities, and volunteering in the community and in politics. Less typically, he travels the country speaking. But for all of his life, there have been people telling him that he could not have a regular life.

Micah has an intellectual disability.

This inspiring film documents the new movement of fully inclusive education by exploring Micah´s desire for a life without boundaries. As a high school student, Micah wanted the college experience and he got it. See how it’s done, learn how it works, and witness how Micah´s journey challenges us all to reexamine what we believe possible.

“What a lesson in high expectations! Awesome!”
Jane Winstead, Director, Transition Services, Tennessee Dept. of Education.

“This video shows us living, breathing inclusion in action. A must-see for all students, teachers, and parents.”
Mara Sapon-Shevin, Ed.Dl, Syracuse University
