The Power of Peers

Learn about the power of classroom peers.

In this session, you will learn about Melissa’s daughter, Ayla, and her school experience.

Despite having significant support needs, Ayla is part of everything in her school community. She follows the class curriculum (modified to her needs and understanding). Her classmates help her take part in all classroom activities.
