Copyright 2014, I am Norm What We Believe We think that people should not have to fit a mold in order to fit into a classroom or a community. We want the world to abandon its perceptions of normalcy, and to learn to embrace and appreciate diversity among individuals. We want to show people that real inclusion can only happen by bringing together diverse groups of people and ensuring that everyone is supported, understood, and respected.
Copyright 2014, I am Norm Goals of I am Norm To encourage the acceptance, respects, and full inclusion of all youth, including those with disabilities, in schools and communities. To raise awareness about inclusion, to provide opportunities for youth to share their ideas about inclusion, and to promote inclusive practices in schools and communities.
