Learning and skills
When children with disability are included in a mainstream class in their local school, everyone benefits in the short and long term. But even in 2021, it can be difficult for our sons and daughters with disability to be effectively included in the same school as their siblings, friends and neighbours.
Many families have found that it’s helpful to have a working knowledge of educational inclusion and to know what the school needs to provide to make inclusion possible. It’s also critical to know how to ask for these in a manner that strengthens the relationship between the school and the family.
This workshop is suitable for families of students of all ages (primary, high school and secondary college) as well as families whose children haven’t yet started school.
Join us for a day to explore
What is inclusive education?
Understanding the benefits of inclusive education for all students
Universal Design for Learning and why is it important
Tips for developing Individual Learning Plans
Tips for meetings with school staff
What supports and safeguards should look like
How to build collaborative partnerships with schools
The importance of friendships and social connections
Student and family stories on their inclusive education experience
