"Our new Inclusive Connections Website is fully content managed allowing us to be a continually evolving "webzine" of links, relevant articles, videos and topical information for parents with children with disabilities," said Candice Laxton, Inclusive Connections vice president, " We are currently compiling all the beta test feedback from our parent's survey we launched in October and using it to make ongoing changes to the site, to make it even more relevant to our users interests. Parents are encouraged to check back often for new content and features."

As a social enterprise Inclusive Connections' business purpose and mission is to foster the values of inclusion; belonging, diversity and equal participation within the human community. Rather than maximizing their shareholder value, the goal of Inclusive Connections is to generate profit to further the social objective of Inclusion in our schools, spiritual and religious communities, on the playground, in the neighborhoods and in children's everyday lives---believing that every child with or without disabilities has the right to belong and benefit from the cultural richness of inclusive experiences.
