Date: Jan 23, 2025 | Time: 6:00pm - 7:30pm

The inclusive planning process is aiming to situate Disability as an identity, not a deficit, and so to determine what supports children require, teams are shifting to look at needs, instead of disabilities, as a reference point. In this way, planning for inclusive learning environments can be universal, and anticipate needs of everyone in a community. In this session we will connect to Universal Design for Learning principles and look at how we can plan for a child with a disability, in ways that can support many children in a community.
