In this episode of “The Bridge” podcast, host Paris Barnes is joined by John Medeiros, his mother and advocate Michelle Medeiros, and Steve Buettner of the Baltimore Lab School for a powerful conversation about inclusive excellence, disability justice, and belonging in education. This episode is a moving reminder that inclusive excellence is not one-size-fits-all, and that when students are truly seen, supported, and respected, they thrive.

“The Bridge” is the official podcast for the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy’s PATIENTS Program, which is the bridge between the community and researchers. The PATIENTS Program created this partnership to help researchers listen to the community’s voice to build a bridge to an effective learning health care community.
