Here enclosed the link to a wonderful presentation we had from Donatella Camedda at our hybrid FIG meeting 3 on May 2nd in the KCTL conference room.

Donatella is Assistant Professor of Education, and ASIAP Course Coordinator in the Trinity College Dublin Center for People with Intellectual Disabilities. It was fascinating to hear her share about how they have been including students with intellectual disabilities for nearly 20 years, with great success in terms of academic learning, program completion, and growing social inclusion as well. She discussed both the successes and challenges in a way that was very relatable to what we have been working towards at KCC.

It sparked a great discussion among our 23 attendees, and we are very grateful to Donatella for visiting us on her trip across the pond (and we dream of returning the favor one day).

After the presentation we had a photocall on the KCTL balcony overlooking the Rockaways followed by continuing our discussion of inclusive higher education over lunch outside the KCC cafeteria.   You can watch the full session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIl3Fdun5dY
