Beyond the importance of environmental evaluation and intervention practice, advocates, researchers, inventors, and professional program instructors have critical roles in creating inclusive environments. Practice is dependent on preservice and in-service education that teaches sound and inclusive assessment and intervention processes. Practice excellence is based on research and the development of more inclusive environments. Practice only becomes real when it is funded and supported by the advocates working in the policy environment. Moreover, the continuum of practice is broad.
