Uncovering Inclusion

Leah and Gina, the couple behind Uncovering Inclusion, talk about Leah's experience with disability for the first time this episode, and share a little about why Uncovering Inclusion was started.

National Disability Employment Awareness month (NDEAM) is celebrated by organizations and associations throughout the United States during the month of October - but what is NDEAM really about, and who is it for?

We end our mini series on home of the angels by discussing what happened to Mrs. Ethel Mahan, owner of the Home of the Angels, what happened to the home itself, and share what group homes are like today. Meet Uncovering Inclusion's newest edition, Dylan, and learn a little bit about Dylan and Leah's backgrounds with disability in Minnesota.

Shirley, Calli, Dave and Gaye reflect about their experiences with the home of the Angels and the journey of remembering the lives of the children who resided within its walls. We will also bear witness to how Jon's life changed after he left the home and how his life was cut short due to living in congregate settings since birth.

Former Staff from "Home of the Angels" talk about what it was like working with the children and Mrs. Mahan, and how they ultimately reported "the Home of the Angels" to the State Welfare Department.

Discover what life was like for the children living at "the Home of the Angels".

Until the 1970's a group home for infants and children with disabilities operated in the posh neighborhood of Minnetonka Mills, Minnesota. The Home of the Angels, run by Mrs. Ethyl Mahan was anything but heavenly. Join Uncovering Inclusion as we discover what life was like at the home through stories of people that lived and worked within it's wall.
