The Human Right to an Inclusive Education: Inclusion Alberta

***Many Alberta students with intellectual disabilities are denied access to the inclusive education that they should be provided under UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In this presentation, Emily shares her story of seeking access to an inclusive education, and the barriers she faced in the K-12 system before she was eventually included through inclusive post-secondary. Emily is accompanied by Aqeela Khalid, Inclusive Education Consultant with Inclusion Alberta, who will situate this story with the content of the right to an inclusive education.
