Jim Hansen died at the age of 85 in 2017. He was a pioneer in that education philosophy. The inclusionary model of education was called “Each Belongs,” which was a shortened form of Hansen’s saying, “Each belongs not because he or she can do something or cannot do something. Each belongs because he or she is.”
In 1968, he and administration head Pat Brennan formed a committee to look at special education. The next year, the Catholic board became the first in Canada to start integrating students with special needs into mainstream, neighbourhood schools
