Safeguarding the future conference - Canberra, 23-24 May 2024

Riding the Rapids from Kindy to Year 12

Jodie Reid's presentation follows her family’s experience as her daughter travelled from Kindy to Year 12 at her local schools. This presentation was recorded during the National Inclusion Conference, 2018.

Jodie’s experience with inclusive education has been like a white water rafting trip – sometimes calm, sometimes bumpy, and sometimes you just have to hang on and go with it!

This presentation follows her family’s experience as her daughter travelled from Kindy to Year 12 at her local schools. We have had some successes, some hiccups and lots of challenges. She shares some of the tips and strategies they learnt along the way, and hope to encourage other families to continue on their inclusive school journey – and enjoy the ride!
