📣 Here’s a The Understanding Digital Throwback!

✨ “Behind the Lesson: Adding an Exercise Lesson to INCIGHTful Learning” shares how we worked with world-renowned athlete and advocate Karen Gaffney from the Karen Gaffney Foundation to bring the power of movement — exercise, goal-setting, and fun group activities — into our curriculum.

💪 From swimming across the English Channel to teaching “Sit-Down Baseball,” Karen’s story shows how physical activity can build confidence, community, and lifelong habits for health and happiness.

🎬 The post goes behind-the-scenes on how we turned Karen’s experience into a video lesson — thoughtfully designed with accessibility and universal design in mind — so students of all abilities can benefit.

🌱 Like Karen, we believe movement matters. Exercise isn’t just about physical health — it helps grow resilience, connection, and independence.

Think back to when you were in high school.
� What resources do you wish you had that helped you prepare for the “real world”?

At INCIGHT, we partner with schools to provide a curriculum program for students with disabilities to help navigate life after high school so that they are equipped with tools and knowledge to unlock their full potential.

We believe that students with disabilities deserve the chance to be able to leverage any obstacle they may face, and excel beyond their time in the classroom.
By giving a gift today with our ’Tis the Season campaign, you’re making sure that students get an A+ in life!

🌟 When they said “impossible,” she proved them wrong.

On her 13th birthday, Samantha Limon never could have guessed what was ahead. An illness disrupted her dreams — school, identity, hope. But she refused to let others decide her story.

Today, Samantha is a college student pursuing her dream of becoming a neurogastroenterologist — a living, breathing testament that “impossible” is just a word.

👉 Read her story from The Understanding Digital “Deemed Impossible” linked below: showcasing positive perspectives on disability.
