What does effective inclusive education looks like in practice?

Earlier this year, two of our learners, Brianna who is blind and Brayden who has severe low vision, and their RTV Kathryn Beer were featured in an Education Gazette article – Inclusive Support for Success.

Their story and success illustrates what effective inclusive education looks like in practice, and how important the transition process is in contributing to this. Having two students transition to the same high school, and at the same time, required detailed planning and preparation.

Expanded core curriculum goals over the past few years have included developing skills in accessing the curriculum through a variety of media and becoming competent users of assistive technology.

With the learners’ active involvement in the transition process, professional development provided for teaching and support staff, learning support adaptations, and supportive peers, barriers to accessing the curriculum have been minimised.
