Ahead of the 2026 Intellectual Disability in Education Summit, join us in conversation with Dr Paula Kluth as we explore what it truly means to support students with intellectual disability in today’s schools. 

In this FREE webinar we will discuss:

• What it means to have an intellectual disability in 2026 

• Why inclusion is essential for students with intellectual disability 

• Common myths and misconceptions about learners with intellectual disability that limit opportunities

• The importance of 'seeing students strong

You will learn about what to expect at the Summit - who should attend, why this PD will be different to broader inclusion events, and the importance of an event focused solely on learners with intellectual disability.
