@EWalton253@routledgebooks@AlisonFoyle Congratulations, Elizabeth! Excitement and anticipation as I am sure will define the field. Looking forward to read it.
Great to see @guardiannews treating wage inequality in ADEs as a front page story, & foregrounding the views of workers with intellectual disability.
Thanks @inclusionoz members for your work here

1. #InclusiveEducation is about 💥every 💥student, no exceptions, including kids who have complex support requirements. Here are some of my favourite resources to help you understand how this can be achieved
As Australia debates segregated forms of education, it helps to learn from experiences elsewhere. For example, in Portugal an emphasis on inclusion seems to have led to improvements for all children. @CatiaMalaquias @AllMeansAllAus https://t.co/NWgL43hIE7
LISTEN to disabled people and the Commr's with disability. Full human rights, citizenship, equal opportunities and ending violence, abuse & neglect won't be possible while we support disability segregation in our schools.

1. Today the #DisabilityRC Report will be released. It is the culmination of 32 hearings, & testimony from 837 witnesses. It documents evidence of widespread violence, abuse, neglect & exploitation plus recommendations for change.
Please do not use today to defend the status quo
CW: Abuse
Can you imagine this "therapy" being delivered in a mainstream settings? No, you can't - it happens in segregated settings, the "special" trojan horse for practices that thrive out of the line of sight of anyone who can condemn them.

And here is a research report commissioned by @DRC_AU that provides an evidence base for an 8 point action plan to eliminate restrictive practices. https://t.co/NapzccuSCs

Incredible statements by the 2 disabled Commissioners Dr Alastair McEwin & Dr Rhonda Galbally calling for a transformation of society where disabled people are not excluded and segregated- joined in this call by Commissioner Bennett showing what allyship is #DisabilityRC
Commissioner McEwin ends by thanking contributions to the #DisabilityRC and sharing his vision of Australia having a fully inclusive education system where there’s ONE education system with no dual and segregated settings of mainstream and special schools #DisabilityRC
Chair Sackville explains the significance and application of international law, says that translating #CRPD rights into domestic law is not a simple matter (ok but some jurisdictions around the world automatically incorporate ratified treaties into domestic laws) #DisabilityRC
Thinking this morning of disabled people and families as the @DRC_AU draws to a close with its final hearing. I feel so anxious about it, there are different emotions and it has been difficult. For all the trauma it involved, it better achieve something good. #DisabilityRC
