We live in a world that demands Inclusion. Policy has been written and laws have been passed to enforce this. However sometimes we may have all the legal framework and ideas but not the actual knowledge on how to live and practice and embed these values in our classrooms and across our curriculum and pedagogy. This workshop gives participants a 'Walk in the shoes' of various disabilities and from their own experience the participants can make change to their own teaching style.

By engaging participants in a series of experiential situations and using the epstemic voice and storytelling, deeper levels of understanding and empathy create pathways of pedagogical solutions and practical applications.

Our hands-on experiential professional development workshop session allows all participants to explore this diversity and difference and then relate it to their own teaching style, curriculum planning and overall pedagogy and attitudes. Through a series of key activities participants explore their own link with various disabilities - both physical and hidden and perceptual differences and link it specifically to the students/area they are working with. ASD and II are also simulated. This will create real inclusive education and meaning will emerge through the teachers own practice.

The workshop concludes with an opportunity for participants to question their own hidden assumptions, values and expectations in terms of their existing pedagogical practices with a view to advancing the vision and practice of an inclusive education. Pedagogical solutions and new ways of looking at the world emerge from the experience.
