Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session brings together papers that articulate issues of equity and systemic change related to building sustainable inclusive education systems for all students, including students with intellectual disabilities and extensive support needs and including those who are part of non-dominant cultures and linguistic groups. Together, these papers highlight education systems’ policies, practices, and procedures that seem to contribute to inequitable opportunities and outcomes for students based on ability, race, and cultural background. Further, this session presents policy and practice recommendations and tools to build and sustain systemic changes that ensure inclusive practices for all students.
