The film is built on the efforts of Habib and his family to include Samuel, 7, in all facets of school and community. Including Samuel also features four other families with varied inclusion experiences, plus interviews with dozens of teachers, young people, parents and disability rights experts.</p> <p>A trailer of the film is now available. In fall 2007, Including Samuel will be released as a broadcast-quality film, a teaching guide and a website. The target audience will be the general public, students at the middle and high school levels, general and special educators, and college students and teachers."</p> General Education Inspiring Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:53:15 -0500 http://www.nnedsc.org/node/23 <p><img src="http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/13520000/13526247.JPG"><br /> <strong>Synopsis</strong><br /> Having a baby with Down syndrome is not something most parents would willingly choose.
