We will explore and share findings from our Youth Board’s ‘Making the Grade’ research, based on the school experiences of young wheelchair users, from the perspective of school colleagues and young wheelchair users. We will be discussing what we have learnt from the research and provide practical steps school colleagues can take to improve inclusion for young wheelchair users in school. 

By the end of this session, you should be able to understand:

•    The barriers school colleagues identified when supporting young wheelchair users.
•    What makes young wheelchair users feel included at school.
•    Practical steps and resource signposting to improve inclusion for young wheelchair users at school.
