Including Samuel is photojournalist Dan Habib's touching and insightful look at how educational and social inclusion transforms the lives of young people with disabilities.

Including Samuel also examines the inclusion experiences of four other families, plus interviews with dozens of teachers, young people, and disability rights experts.
