We see you!
Autism and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, can often co-occur.
Let’s work together to create a more inclusive world for everyone!

Are you calling your students with #dyslexia "reluctant readers"? Please stop. Being reluctant to do something means you can but are choosing not to. Dyslexic students are not 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.

Hopeful for systemic change!
Thank you @JenPalmaGlobal @GlobalBC
Exclusion comes in different ways, all of our kids deserve to reach their full potential and have full access to education

Nothing about this to "love". I'm sorry @tamarataggart for the heavy heart lift you are bearing ~ we need meaningful change now
I’m disgusted by the quotes from CLBC + Min. Malcolmson in this report from @GlobalBC
My inbox is overrun with horrific stories happening right now all over BC involving CLBC. This must stop, I’m passing stories to former news colleagues. #bcpoli globalnews.ca/news/11007393/…

Last week, the Representative for Children and Youth released a report exposing critical gaps in supports for disabled children and youth. AutismBC supports its call for urgent action, including better cross-ministerial collaboration and equitable services. #bcpoli

📢 BC Families: The Ombudsperson is investigating the exclusion of students, including those with disabilities, from K-12 schools. If your child has been affected, share your experience through this confidential questionnaire by April 1, 2025.

Two of BC's largest unions have issued a letter to members outlining what’s at stake for public education in #BCElection2024. “We face a critical choice,” BCTF President @ClintJohnston7 and @CUPEBC President Karen Ranalletta write. Full letter: bit.ly/408a9jV #bcpoli
An important post we must pay attention to @CPC_HQ
One question, why?
Inclusion BC is disturbed by the @Conservative_BC platform on education.
Research in Canada and around the world shows us that all students learn better in inclusive classrooms. (A thread🧵)

As the BC Election draws near, let's spotlight the 80,000 children and youth with disabilities currently lacking support.
What are the parties' plans to instigate this much-needed systemic change?

Help us track school exclusions! Past data shows:
47% of students with disabilities excluded for a full day due to lack of supports. 13% faced exclusions lasting over 4 months.
Have you faced this? Share your experience and help advocate for change!

ALT An infographic titled "2023-24 Exclusion Tracker" shows: 47% of respondents reported students with disabilities were excluded for a full day due to lack of supports. 13% reported exclusions lasting over 4 months. Many families felt pressured to keep their child home due to staffing shortages or lack of preparedness from the school. The background is green, featuring illustrations of books, a pencil holder, and an apple, with the BCEdAccess logo at the bottom left.
It's election time when institutions try to preserve the problem to which they are to be the solution.

@bcpoli
Not one can convince me we can't get this right. Systemic and systematic ableism continues to disintegrate families and individuals with disabilities. Keep kids at home not in hotels

Tell me @bcndp how will the upcoming legislative Accessabilities Standards make support accessable in monetary, systemic and systematic form? We can do better ~ I am not witnessing a way in the draft🙊

If you’re in the long wait for your child’s assessment, you probably have a million questions in your mind.
AutismBC’s Waiting for Assessment Workshop can help you make informed decisions for your family.
Next session is July 20. Register for free: autismbc.ca/events/waiting-f…
Time to get this done, the time is now.

The epitome of ableism ~ erasure. Our schools can do better than this
"But administrators had scrubbed De Meyer’s speech of any mention of Bateman’s own accessibility challenges."
