Inclusion and Belonging at the Local School: The Parent Advocacy Toolkit 

Inclusion in the regular local school of children with disability has been possible for decades. It is a human right; supported by evidence and supported by Queensland’s Inclusive Education policy. But achieving inclusion for all children is still not simple and straightforward! The role of a parent in working with their child’s school for good inclusion is crucial.

 

This workshop will cover:

  • Knowing your child’s gifts and setting a vision for inclusion success
  • Embracing your role as an advocate
  • What authentic inclusion in the regular class looks like
  • Education laws, policies and supports
  • Speaking positively and confidently to work collaboratively with the school
  • Advocacy tips to stay strong and effective

“Every time I attend these workshops I not only learn new information and tips but it helps me to stay focused and passionate!”  (2024 workshop participant)

 

Wednesday 10th September, 9.15am to 2.30pm
