Event Overview: Despite ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity in mainstream educational settings, there continues to be instances of negative interactions between non-disabled children and their disabled peers. At the same time, educators report that they don’t feel confident talking about disability in the classroom. In this webinar, psychologists Drs. Sian Jones, Clare Uytman, and Soraya Khanna will share their research and resources. The resources are intended to assist educators in offering both reflection and insight, in the form of mirrors and windows, as well as fostering constructive conversations about disability with children.
