THE YEAR OF INCLUSION
A Flexible, Schoolwide Disability Awareness & Belonging Program for K–5
Build calmer classrooms, reduce disruptions, and strengthen peer relationships — with ready-to-use lessons teachers can implement anytime.
THE CHALLENGE SCHOOLS ARE FACING
Students with diverse needs are learning together every day —
but many don’t understand each other’s differences.
This leads to:
- Lower Academic Engagement and Achievement
- Behavior disruptions
- Social conflicts
- Lost instructional minutes
- Parent escalations
- Teacher burnout
- Inconsistent Tier 1 supports
- A climate where some students feel “othered”
Schools need a solution that is:
✔ easy to implement
✔ ready right now
✔ doesn’t add work to teachers’ plates
✔ and actually shifts student behavior
That’s exactly what this program does.
