Ep. 11 - How our schools are failing kids with disability Have You Got That Right?

We spoke to almost 100 teachers, school principals, support staff, parents of kids with disability and young adults about educating kids with disability in Victoria's mainstream schools. We also pored over every law, policy and practice that affected education for kids with disability, then we wrote a report with over 30 recommendations for how the Victorian government can do things (vastly) better. If a 100-page report seems a bit daunting, join us for a 30 minute primer on what we found.
