QCIE is very disappointed to once again be seeing the Prep readiness message being spread by Kindys, Daycares, the Dept, others.

2. The only things a child needs to be Prep ready is to be the right age, and have a heartbeat.

1. We are calling it out. It is not OK. It is not factual. It is not inclusive.
It is discriminative. It is distressing to families. It is abelist. It is wrong.
โMainstream education developed my academic skills and provided an environment for me to learn the important soft skills that are often absent in a special education setting.โ

Special school educators!
There are kids in mainstream right now who cannot access your expertise & kids in special schools who would benefit from broader access to the academic curriculum.
Ending #Segregation isn't an existential threat
It's systemic improvement for ALL students
"Disabled people will not accept ableism and segregation at the hands of government policies any longer. The disability community has done their bit, now itโs time for Federal and State Governments to do theirs." #DisabilityRC Thank you @senatorpennyqld@SenatorJordon@Greens
Excellent interview in The Law Report with @GraemeInnes who supports Recs to #EndSegregation, and reflected on the disability community's fight for a majority of Commissioners with disability precisely to avoid the current outcome.

DSA believes that segregation is a form of discrimination, and that all students should be given the support they need to learn and grow.
Commissioner McEwin who supports an end to segregated schools, talks about the importance of this change:

Easy Read version of some of the big DRC recommendations, thank you @inclusionoz
We agree with #EndSegregation but #28YearsIsTooLong . We must act with urgency to ensure not even one more generation of kids experience segregation, let alone two!!
#DisabilityRC
The Disability Royal Commission Final Report has 222 recommendations. We think everyone should be part of the conversation about what happens next, so we made an #EasyRead guide to some of the big recommendations in the report. #DisabilityRC https://t.co/Gdzq6mdlGh
"We have a cycle of segregation...we must end that cycle"
Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John says segregation in education for people living with disability must end by 2030 #Insiders#auspol
Seriously shocked/not shocked by Sackville & Ryan's absurd/ableist argument that as long as segregated disabled people have "interchanges" with others, it's not *really* segregation. Disabled people are entitled to FULL EQUALITY & PARTICIPATION! #DisabilityRC#EndSegregation
Segregated disabled students having "interchanges" with non-segregated students is #fauxclusion! Inclusive education reflects the human rights standard of equality & non discrimination and demands nothing less than than full participation on the same basis.

The release of such an important report is historic, but also stressful. So much material can feel overwhelming and create uncertainty about the future. Please prioritise self-care and allow time to process it all. If you need support, call Lifeline 13 11 14 to talk to someone.
