Belonging Beyond Inclusion: Presented by Ashley Barlow, J.D.

Thursday, December 3, 2026
12:00 pm1:15 pm

True inclusion is much deeper than proximity. The real goal is belonging.

In this inspirational keynote, Ashley Barlow explores belonging as the heart of inclusion across the lifespan. Ashley will challenge participants to think beyond access and placement and toward the kind of community participation where people with disabilities are known, valued, supported, and expected to contribute.

Ashley will invite the audience to reimagine inclusion not as the final destination, but as the beginning of a larger conversation about dignity, connection, opportunity, and belonging. belonging.
