Description
Inclusive Education breakfasts are the opportunity to meet once a term with others in AISWA schools. We plan to invite guest speakers who will present on an inclusive education-specific topic that will encourage discussion and understanding. Our objective is to foster conversation and networking within the AISWA school sector and increase knowledge and understanding in supporting students with disabilities in our schools.
