Inclusive education - with LeDerick Horne

CW: Mentions of suicidality.

In the third grade, LeDerick Horne was labeled as “neurologically impaired” – a label that followed him through his schooling until he was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia. Today, LeDerick is a dynamic spoken-word poet, a respected author, and a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. He has performed at prestigious venues such as the White House and the United Nations. His workshops, speeches and poetry open doors to discussions on inclusive education, equal opportunity, systemic change, and hope for individuals with disabilities.

During this episode, LeDerick talks about:
● The challenges he faced in K-12 special education, before being diagnosed as dyslexic
● What inspired him to go to college – and how the meaningful support and inclusive education he got there helped him thrive as a student
● Discovering his passion for poetry, which led to his career as a spoken-word poet and author
● His work as a speaker and trainer on the topics of inclusive education and the intersections of education, disability and race
● Co-hosting the Black and Dyslexic podcast
