In this thought-provoking episode, Laura and Kirby dive deep into the true essence of inclusion, challenging the notion that it's merely a trendy buzzword or a marketing gimmick. They start by demystifying the concept of inclusion, emphasizing that genuine inclusivity requires concrete policies, substantial adaptations, and significant behavioral changes, particularly from those in positions of authority and influence.

This episode highlights how adults, as the gatekeepers to accessibility, play a crucial role in fostering an inclusive environment. Whether it's in businesses, amusement parks, schools, workplaces, or communities, adults have the responsibility to implement and enforce policies that accommodate everyone's needs and ensure that no one is left on the sidelines.

Kirby adds to the conversation by sharing personal anecdotes and examples of inclusion done right—and wrong.

Throughout the episode, Laura and Kirby discuss practical steps adults can take to promote inclusion, such as:

•  Educating themselves and others about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Actively seeking feedback from marginalized or underrepresented groups.
• Implementing adaptive measures in physical and digital spaces to ensure accessibility.      
• Modeling inclusive behavior and calling out exclusion when they see it.
