We understand that not everyone can attend peer groups, workshops, or conferences due to work and life commitments, but we know the importance of setting time aside for thinking and planning.
We want families to feel supported as they pursue an inclusive education for their child with disability. We hope the Inclusive Education Drop-in Day will help you carve out time to troubleshoot any challenges, strategise your next steps or simply talk with us about your thoughts and plans.
Whether you’re just starting out or need help fine-tuning your plans, our hosts – Anne Keep and Erosha Bakmiwewa will support you throughout the day from our virtual kitchen table.
What you’ll get
Practical guidance
We will be here for you to test ideas as we can be a great sounding board. We will help the best we can with any aspect of inclusive education, including
A vision for a genuine inclusive education
The support needed and how it might best be provided
The power of peers
Connecting with other families
The importance of Universal Design for Learning
Collaborating positively with schools and educators
Individual Education Plans
Personalised support
Pull up a chair at our virtual kitchen table (on Zoom), and you will be able to speak with one of our hosts in a private virtual break-out space. These one-on-one chats will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis, and alternative times will be offered if our hosts are busy helping others.
Guest speaker
At lunchtime (12:30 pm – 1:30 pm), we will be joined by a guest speaker (to be announced) who will share their insights about supporting their child with disability in their education journey.
Who should attend?

Are thinking about what school might look like for their young child with disability

Why a “kitchen table”?
During Imagine More’s earliest years, most of our work was done speaking with families around somebody’s kitchen table, often with a cup of tea close at hand. These informal, comfortable settings helped to foster open and honest conversations, allowing us to connect deeply with families and truly understand their needs.
We love the energy of kitchen table conversations and aim to bring this warmth and openness to our Drop-In Day. By creating a similar atmosphere, we want everyone to feel valued, heard, and supported and to encourage meaningful conversations.
(This is a free event and won’t be recorded)
