Big Ideas, Real Impact
Mission:
Inclusive Learning Hub partners with Deaf Plus learners, families, and teams to build access, communication, and independence through ASL/AAC‑rich, trauma‑informed practices, rooted in dignity, evidence, and joy.
My Story
My name is Janey. I was born and raised in Colorado. I am an avid hiker, runner, and dog mom. I am also a Special Education teacher who want all students with disabilities to be successful. My goal is to help families and schools integrate ASL, AAC, sensory access, and functional academics so Deaf/Hard of Hearing learners with additional disabilities so they can thrive at home, in school, and in community.
Here, curiosity meets community.
Traditional blogs are often a one-way street. A monologue in a digital room. I want to do things differently here. This is an Inclusive Learning Hub, a living resource designed to grow alongside the people who use it.
Whether you’re a seasoned expert or just starting your journey, this space is built for you to explore, unlearn, and evolve.
My Core Philosophy
I believe that learning shouldn't be gated, intimidating, or rigid. To keep this space truly inclusive, I lead with these three pillars:
• Accessible Insights: No jargon for the sake of jargon.
• Diverse Perspectives: Learning is richer when we look through multiple lenses.
• Safe Curiosity: There are no "dumb" questions here. This is a judgment-free zone for those brave enough to say, "I don't know yet."
What You’ll Find Here
This isn't just a collection of posts; it's a toolkit for your personal and professional growth:
1. Deep Dives: Comprehensive guides.
2. Community Echoes: Insights and questions gathered from our readers.
3. Resource Libraries: Curated lists of books, tools, and thinkers to follow.
Why "Inclusive"?
Inclusivity to me means more than just a seat at the table; it means making sure the table is at the right height for everyone. I strive for web accessibility, use plain language, and actively seek to highlight voices that are often sidelined in this industry.
