What does good quality play look like: It looks like freedom, autonomy, and flow. It is child-led, flexible, and provides a way to interact with and make sense of the world. Good play can take many forms – physical, creative, logical, imaginative, sensory. A young child chases around a park pretending to be a dragon, a teenager hangs out with friends in a safe warm space, a child with disabilities uses something to interact with their senses in a new way; in all cases, the child perceives it as fun, uncertain, and non-directed by adults. - Dr Jennifer Wills Lamacq. With Miracle Design and Play Ltd we provide not just a requirement, but a great space for children to play, learn, and develop, with interactive safe, fun spaces within their community. cheniece.richards@miracledandp.co.uk

💭 Did you know that students are covered by federal law through age 21 in public schools? 🎓 In this video, I outline Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which concerns supporting programs that help students with disabilities transition from school to adult life. 🗺️ Essentially, it’s designed to serve as a roadmap for preparing students for life after high school, whether that means: 📍 Going to college, 📍 Finding a job, or 📍 Living independently Part D ensures that students receive the necessary skills, resources, and support to make a successful transition and achieve their goals as they enter adulthood✌🏾 #IDEA #specialeducation #studentsuccess

Every child deserves an accessible, inclusive, and supportive educational environment. As we head into the new school year, it's important to highlight the recent resources released by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). These resources aim to ensure students with disabilities receive fair treatment and necessary supports. They make clear that schools have the capacity to safeguard the rights of students with disabilities, whilst maintaining a safe environment for all. The resources offer guidance on positive, proactive approaches to supporting the needs of children with disabilities, and tips on how to avoid discriminatory use of student discipline. As parents, educators, and advocates, let's utilize these resources to ensure every child, regardless of their abilities, thrives in their educational journey. Read more about these resources at here: https://lnkd.in/eFGHi2ux. Remember, inclusive education is a right, not a privilege. Rate your child's school building for its accessibility on www.wheelchariot.io. Let's work together to ensure our schools are spaces where everyone is valued and supported. 🎒🏫📚 #BackToSchool #InclusiveEducation #AccessibilityMatters #WheelChariot ID: At the center is a group of students in school clothes wearing backpacks in front of a school building. The text below reads “Back to School. Let’s make sure our classrooms are accessible.”

School is about to begin and all over social media, parents and guardians are scrambling to purchase the right supplies, buy clothes, register for extracurriculars, schedule hair appointments...all with the mindset of ensuring their child is prepared for school. Why...because we want our children to start with all of the tools they need to have a successful school year. Well, parents supporting students with special needs, let's add post-secondary transition planning as a priority on our to-do list. Ensuring our child has a proper transition plan in place should drive the Individual Education Plan (IEP), course selection, and appropriate accommodations/modifications which will assist the student with developing a firm foundation for their future. If you want more information about post-secondary transition planning or need support developing a plan for your child, please book an appointment with us at www.infusingvision.org. We are here to serve by Infusing Vision into education for students with disabilities. ~ Dr. LaTonya Harris

😬 Let's be honest, physical accessibility is lacking on many college campuses and is often an afterthought. ☝🏼 But, that doesn't we shouldn't maintain what is already there! 🗣 Students and faculty at Murray State University are speaking about about physical accessibility on campus "A faculty member, who wishes to remain anonymous, said many areas on campus are not accessible.  'I occasionally use a mobility device, and it is difficult to navigate the uneven and bumpy sidewalks,” the faculty member said. “Disabled buttons hardly work in most buildings and take so long to fix when broken. Disabled parking is so far from buildings, (and) it is difficult for me to get from the middle of the lot by Faculty Hall and into my building, which is on an incline. Bathrooms are also difficult to enter with a mobility device.'" https://lnkd.in/ee8WdyG5 #Disability #Accessibility #access #Facilities #College #HigherEducation #ADA #ADACompliance #universalDesign #Students #Faculty
