Disrupting Misconceptions and Forging Pathways for Students with Developmental Disabilities
Inclusion BC and the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship (CIIC) partnered to create four short films to raise awareness about the exclusion of students with developmental disabilities and to offer key information and possible pathways to success for students, families, and schools.
We convened focus groups that included former students, families, educators, Indigenous people, professionals, and community organizations to co-create the vision for these films. Drawing on their lived experiences, participants shared stories and offered examples of the issues and the barriers they face, Through this process, we identified the main messages that these films convey to support educators and the community at large, to advance inclusive education.
These short films can be watched individually or all together as a series, we invite educators to watch them with their colleagues and with their students. We hope they will provoke meaningful discussions. Inclusion BC and the CIIC would love to hear the actions that these films have inspired you to take.
Film 1: Exercising Self Determination in our Schools
Film 2: Getting Ready to Work in our Schools
Film 3: Reframing Challenging Behaviour in our Schools
Film 4: Indigeneity and Disability in our Schools
