How Schools Partner With Educating Outside The Lines
Schools typically work with Educating Outside The Lines in three ways depending on the level of impact they want to create.
Schoolwide Inclusion Week
Our flagship in-person experience that brings disability inclusion education to the entire school community.
EOTL Inclusion Academy
A flexible digital curriculum that teachers can implement throughout the year using ready-to-teach lessons and Inclusion Boxes.
Inclusion Assembly
A powerful kickoff experience featuring a speaker with a disability who introduces students to the importance of belonging and inclusion.

How do you feel when you meet someone with a disability?
Are you uncertain, fearful, avoidant, pitiful? Or are you curious, conversant, understanding, and accepting? Even the most well-meaning people can feel unsure how to interact with and address someone with a disability. As someone becomes familiar with disability, they realize it’s just a difference (not a deficiency)... and a whole new world of connection and possibilities opens up.
EOTL Academy makes it second nature for children
to understand and accept disability.
