融合教育的力量

Well, it certainly wasn't something I thought about growing up, or in college, in Ann Arbor Michigan, none of this came to the forefront till I had a child with a disability.

这当然不是我在成长的过程中就在思考的，也不是在密歇根州安阿伯的大学里学到的，直到我有了一个残障的孩子，我才开始有了一些想法。

Samuel was born in 1999. Within a few years he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

塞缪尔出生于1999年，几年后他被确诊是一名脑性麻痹后遗症人士。

Part of what we need to do was come up with a vision for what was his life gonna be like?

我们需要做的一件事是，想清楚他的未来会怎样发展？

my wife and I thought long and hard about that, and the thing that kept coming to the forefront, is that he would feel like he belonged.

我和妻子进行了长时间地深入思考，我们觉得最重要的就是：他需要感受到归属感。

Think of who you are as a person, now, you know you have a job, but you also have hobbies, and interests, and passions, and a lot of that was formed growing up.

想想作为一个人，你是谁？现在，你知道，你有工作，你也有自己的兴趣、爱好和激情，你有很多在成长中应该获得的东西。

Not just through the academic experience of school, but through the social and emotional experience of school.Being with lots of different kinds of kids and people, and learning to be challenged in your presumptions, and learning that diversity is a broad spectrum of people.Unless you live that diversity day in and day out, I don't think that you ever grasp that, and I don't think you ever develop socially and emotionally the way that you need to.

它们不只是来自于在学校的学习，也来自于在学校里的社交和感情体验。在那里，你和很多不同类型的孩子和成年人在一起，学习去挑战自己的"预设"，了解到人与人之间广泛的多样性，除非你日复一日地生活在多元化的环境中，否则我并不认为你能够真正理解（人类多样性），我也不认为你已经找到了需要的方式来发展社交和情感。

In 2007, Dan Habib made a documentary, "Including Samuel", chronicling his efforts to give his son and inclusive experience.

丹·哈⽐⼘在2007年时拍摄了一部名为《山姆上学去》的纪录片，里面记录了他为孩子创造融合环境而付出的努力。

To belong when you're a child that uses a wheel chair, that has a significant speech disorder, and other challenges, you need to be in a community that believes that all people belong in your schools.In your extra curricular activities, that all kids can learn, that all kids can go on to college.

当你有一个坐在轮椅上，面临严重的言语障碍及其他挑战的孩子，他需要有归属感。那么，我们需要，这个社区相信：所有人都应该属于这里。这个学校认为所有孩子都应当在课外活动中学习，所有孩子可以进入大学。

When you think about that level of accessibility, you are taking about every part of our society.So, thankfully were in a community that believes that kids with disabilities belong general education.Because thirty years of research shows that inclusive education for kids with disabilities yields better outcomes academically, socially, in terms of their jobs, in terms of their access to college.

当你思考到各种各样的无障碍设施的时候，你会想到社会生活的方方面面。我非常感激，能生活在一个相信残障孩子应该属于普通教育的社区里。三十年来的研究表明，接受融合教育的残障孩子,就他们进入大学和工作而言，在学业和社交发展上，他们都有更好的表现。

What can higher ed do to encourage inclusivity for students and faculty with various challenges?

我们能做些什么，来鼓励高等教育为面临各种挑战的学生与院校创造更为包容的环境？

Accessibility, inclusivity, has to be a lens that you start from the very beginning when you're thinking about what software to purchase, how to write code, who do you work with in your team?Can we bring in a more diverse team of people to think about this?Can we beta test our projects with people who have different challenges and difficulties?Once you have that lens of inclusivity and accessibility, you start looking at all aspects of our society and say- hmm - is this really the best possible way?Is it the most universally designed technology?I think that IT folks first of all have to have that motivation, they have to believe that college is a place for all learners.

在很多事情的一开始就必须拥有和使用无障碍与融合的视角，你需要购买怎样的软件？如何编写代码？在团队中需要和谁合作？我们能引入一个多元化的团队来思考这些问题吗？我们能和面临不同挑战和困难的人一起测试这个项目吗？一旦拥有了融合和无障碍的视角，你就会开始用它们来审视社会中的各个方面，并不断地问自己：这真的是最好的方案了吗？这是世界上最具通用设计思维的技术吗？我认为IT人员首先必须有这样的动机，他们必须相信，大学是一个为了所有学习者的地方！

There are increasingly students of all different kinds of abilities and disabilities going into college.There are actually 270 programs around the country at universities that are specifically geared towards bringing more students with disabilities into the college environment.

越来越多拥有各种不同能力、面临不同挑战的学生在进入大学校园。而在全美，实际上大约有270个项目，专门支持越来越多的残障学生进入大学，融入大学的环境。

once you have that lens and that motivation, then you think how am I going to universally design that technology from the beginning.especially when you have the opportunity to take on new projects and build new infrastructure.If thats your lens from the beginning, you're going to save so much work in terms of trying retrofit it down the line to meet new accessibility requirements.

一旦你拥有了新的视角和动机，你会去思考：我在一开始时，该如何全面地设计这项技术？特别是，当你获得机会，承担一个新的项目，建设新的基础设施时。如果你一开始，就拥有了这样的观点，当在遇上新的无障碍需求时，就会节省很多改造它的时间。
