Explore the agenda
Why Inclusive Education matters
In our opening session, our keynote speaker will explore the whole-school approach to inclusive education, and how schools can build an effective support system using tools which are necessary for some but beneficial for all.
Universal Design for Learning
Before we can expect students to engage and excel in learning, they first need to be able to access the learning material. In this session, discover how a framework like Universal Design for Learning, or UDL can help.
Supporting students with Dyslexia
During this section of the day, we'll take a deep dive into exploring Dyslexia. You'll discover effective strategies and tools for supporting students with literacy challenges. We'll also look at how dyslexia can affect maths learning and ways of providing support.
Accessibility across the curriculum
Join us to see how Read&Write, Equatio and OrbitNote help students achieve more in literacy, maths and beyond.
The benefits of universal support
Our closing panel will share their experiences of using technology as a tool to support whole school inclusion.
Lessons from an educator
In our closing keynote, our speaker will share actionable advice on how to create inclusive learning environments through the lens of her own lived experiences as an individual, educator and a parent.
