Our Objectives
Develop and launch a strategic plan for Inclusive Education Canada that advances inclusive education across the country, with clearly defined roles for Inclusion Canada and Inclusive Education Canada.
Why It Matters
60% of children and youth with an intellectual disability are denied inclusive, quality education in Canada.
Segregated classrooms, seclusion rooms, limited access to educational supports, inaccessible spaces, and low expectations are just some of the ways children with an intellectual disability are excluded and discriminated against in Canadian schools.
Without access to quality inclusive education, people with an intellectual disability have limited employment and post-secondary opportunities and are more likely to live in poverty.
Our Vision
All people with an intellectual disability are fully included with their peers in regular education, with appropriate supports from early childhood through to post-secondary and adult life-long learning.
How You Can Help
Our Work
What We're Doing
Inclusion Canada is building more inclusive educational environments by developing practical resources and collaborating with experts in the field. Through our national initiative, Inclusive Education Canada, we've partnered with Community Living Fundy (NB) to create a resource website for educators and families to provide concise and accessible information on inclusive practices to improve learning outcomes for all students.
We’re influencing education legislation across the country, pushing for laws and policies that ensure inclusion from early childhood through to post-secondary learning. We’re also creating tools to help policymakers and educators fulfill their responsibilities to provide every child with a quality inclusive education.
Check out our national initiative, Inclusive Education Canada, for more resources related to inclusive education.
