WEEK 3: INCLUSIVE DESIGN Online Instruction
We have a short week due to the holiday break so I've condensed content for you to read and view this week. PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO assigned readings for this week.
Last week we started our deep dive into understanding INCLUSIVE DESIGN. Let's begin with a quick review of Kat Holmes' theory of Mismatch.

Basic Principles of Inclusive Design
2. Inclusive the Film by Microsoft
To continue understanding the process and application of inclusive design you're going to watch Inclusive the Film created by Microsoft. The film gives a view into how we design for human motivations and needs, expanding interactions to become more inclusive and seeing diversity differently: as a dynamic inspiration for creatives and innovators.
3. All-American Family: Where Deafness Is Not A Disability
A Hearing Son In A Deaf Family: 'I'd Rather be Deaf'
All-American Family: Where Deafness Is Not A Disability | A CNN Short Film by Andrew Jenks
Finally this week, we are going to watch an amazing story that really makes you think about inclusion and exclusion from a different perspective.
In this film you will meet the Pedersen family: parents Rod and Jamie; and the children: Zane, Jax and Kaleb.
They were all born deaf, except Kaleb — who at age 20, is the oldest child. "Obviously, I didn't choose to be the only hearing one," Kaleb said.
Thanks to his upbringing, Kaleb prefers Deaf culture over the hearing world. "There's more of a sense of belonging in the Deaf culture. They just feel closer together than how hearing people act with each other."
The Pedersens are featured in CNN Films' new Digital Short titled, "All-American Family." They're among an estimated 1 million so-called "functionally deaf" people in the United States, and 70 million worldwide, according to federal and United Nations stats.

> Small Group Discussion for Week Three
This week we continued exploring the process and application of inclusive design. Your small group discussion this week will focus on what we've learned about inclusive design and the shut-in, shut-out model Holmes presented.
In the short film you just watched you were introduced to the Pedersen family: parents Rod and Jamie; and the children: Zane, Jax and Kaleb.
They were all born deaf, except Kaleb — who at age 20, is the oldest child.
In an interview that accompanies the short film. CNN Journalist Thom Patterson interviewed the Pedersen family. To check out the full article click here.
The following is a quote from Kaleb, the Pedersen's oldest and only hearing son.
"Obviously, I didn't choose to be the only hearing one," Kaleb said on the phone from their home near San Francisco in Pleasanton, California. Thanks to his upbringing, Kaleb prefers Deaf culture over the hearing world. "There's more of a sense of belonging in the Deaf culture. They just feel closer together than how hearing people act with each other." That’s “Deaf” with a capital “D.” That’s how the community spells it.
Use the following questions to guide you in your engaging discussion this week:
1. How does the way Kaleb feels about preferring Deaf culture over the hearing world relate to what Kat Holmes discussed in Mismatch about the shut-in-shut-out model?
2. How did the the sport of football and playing football become an inclusive experience, on and off the field, for the Pedersen family and the community where they live?
3. Why does the Pedersen family consider hearing loss or being deaf NOT a disability?
4. Do you believe inclusive play is important to our personal well-being and a fundamental human right?
