The Rick Hansen Foundation School Program’s professional development presentations and workshops engage educators to help them better understand disability and the importance of increasing their knowledge to lead students to include those with disabilities. Classroom environments that focus on inclusion and accessibility support better student success. Educators who expand their perspectives on disability can establish a more holistic approach to creating inclusive classrooms, schools and communities.
Depending on length of presentation or workshop topics may cover:
- Understanding disability
- Language and interactions
- Best practices
- Barriers and their solutions
- Accessibility and Inclusion
