ODYSSEY INCLUSIVE

Odyssey Inclusive is a new type of problem.  Odyssey Inclusive provides opportunities for everyone to learn and grow through participation in OM.  OI teams consist of those who qualify for special education services per local, district & federal guidelines.  Those without disabilities can participate on an OI team, however, at lest 50% of the team members must qualify for special education services.
