An Educational Success

Exploring Accessibility

“We found the session both incredibly informative and fun, in equal parts. The students who took part loved trying out the equipment (this was their favorite part) but also listened well and asked questions at the information session. As we have multiple students with disabilities in our grade 2, we felt it important to find more ways to educate our students and our teachers as well.” Amanda Clarke
