Inclusive education is complex and requires thoughtful planning and collaboration to realise success. Here's some tips from families who have sought to have their children included in mainstream schools.
We asked six parents to share their top tips about inclusion in mainstream primary school. These families are at different stages of their child’s school journey. Each family has used creativity and lateral thinking about inclusion. They have worked in partnership with schools to achieve a more inclusive education for their child.
We asked them for tips about:
- adapting the classroom environment
- learning the same curriculum
- transition
- social inclusion at school
- home-school communication
- building good relationships with teachers
We collated these tips into a small booklet to share with other families. You can download it here.
