Thanks @juliainclusion for capturing my presentation so well. We need to demonstrate that identifying and referral of children with functional difficulties can effectively work at community and district level.

"We must be careful not to homogenise Africa when we organise ourselves as #Africans and push forward for progress. While standing together in solidarity, we must also recognise deeper contextualisations within the continent".- Attendee #SENICON2022

👏🏿🔥💯 Very well said!

An article by Dr. Anita Soni in the International Teachers Magazine (UK) about the DREAM for Early Childhood Education for children with disabilities in Chiradzulu district https://t.co/cILC8SszRQ

[Julia Hayes @juliainclusion]

Teachers are often at the forefront of identifying children with disabilities when systems do not address local barriers in African context. Great research by @plynch115 into how this can be addressed in a community @WinfordCentre @basirat_rshuaib @EduRes_Mitchell

[Dr. Basirat Razaq-Shuaib @basirat_rshuaib]

Why are education initiaves in Malawi relating to early
childhood intervention being led mostly by NGOs? We need more government participation. And no not just high level commitments, implementation too! Thank you @JenipherNgwira #senicon2022
