Emily Included

by: Kathleen McDonnell

A Regular School

Emily Eaton was born with cerebral palsy. She couldn't communicate or control her movements like other kids, and she used a wheelchair. But that did not stop her from wanting to be a kid like everyone else, including going to a regular school.

A Fight to be Included

But when some important people decided that Emily should leave and go to a special school for disabled children, Emily and her family were upset. They decided that they would fight for Emily to stay in her class and stay with her friends.

All the Way to the Supreme Court!

Emily’s battle not to be forced out of her school was long, hard – and history-making. The fight took her to the highest court in the country. Emily and her family would let nothing stand in the way of her being included, wherever she wants to go.
