University of Melbourne researchers are running a series of focus groups to learn from people with lived experience of disability in education settings on how to create inclusive learning spaces in schools. The focus groups that run in late April and May, will be divided into three sessions and covers the following topics:

Session 1: What does inclusive education mean to you? 
Session 2: What enables and constrains inclusive learning spaces – indoors and outdoors? 
Session 3: What knowledge is needed to better design and use learning spaces for inclusive education? 

The following participant groups are invited: Young adults with disability (+18), Parents of children with disability, disability representative organisations (DROs), special needs educators and teaching assistants, allied health professionals working in schools and school students with disability (10-17 years – subject to ethics approval).
