"The package as a whole is a big plus for any educational library."

"Finally! A DVD that not only talks about inclusion, asks the important questions related to the issues of inclusion but also SHOWS us how it is done—in the classroom and in the planning states before the classroom... a MUST HAVE in every school library, college, university, and parent resource centre."

: The Inclusive Class - January 18, 2012
"To an educator, having strategies that can be used in the classroom immediately is one of the most important pieces to a professional development video and Paula's DVD does not disappoint... I highly recommend Paula Kluth's, "You're Going to Love This Kid!"... After watching her video I am inspired and motivated to continue working toward education for all children, regardless of ability!"
