This week in class we had another guest speaker, this time it was a lady named Tracey Humphries and she is from BCEd Access and she came to talk to us about inclusive education. This is a society run by mostly parents who want to supports kids with disabilities and diverse learning challenges reach full potential in school and in the world. Tracey talked about her own struggles with ADHD as well as the struggles that come with raising a child with a disability in the BC school system. She talked a lot about the lack of technology in the classrooms for teachers to use, and that what there is, is terribly outdated. I grew up with parents working with children with disabilities and spent time with them, I knew it was hard, however now as a future educator I see how truly hard it is to be a student with a disability in this school system. So what can we do? Read the IEP’s, talk to the families and advocate for your students.
