<p class="MsoNormal">At Morse High School, Unified Literacy brings students with and without intellectual disabilities together as learning partners, creating a vibrant community of readers, learners, and leaders. Through reading, writing, visual and performing
arts, field trips, and games, students collaborate, communicate, and connect in meaningful ways. This session will be led by the presenters and students to demonstrate how inclusion, creativity, and shared experiences help every student feel seen, heard, and
valued, including strategies that attendees can bring back to their own classrooms.
