Successfully including students with complex learning profiles

Promotional banner for the ‘Successfully including students with complex learning profiles - research forum' on 21st November 2024. The banner features the QUT Centre for Inclusive Education logo on the left. It includes images of diverse students engaged in classroom activities. From left to right: a boy raising his hand in class, three girls with their arms around each other smiling together, and a boy with Down Syndrome in a regular classroom smiling at the camera.

Students with complex learning profiles have a combination of impairments affecting behaviour, cognition, communication, emotional regulation, mobility, and/or sensory processing. Students in this group are the exceptions cited by critics of inclusion who cannot fathom how these students can be successfully educated alongside their same-age peers in inclusive classrooms. Indeed, the needs of students with complex learning profiles was one rationale for the split decision on phasing out or retaining a segregated education system in the final report of the Disability Royal Commission. In this Forum, students, parents, teachers and researchers will share stories of successful inclusion in early childhood, primary and secondary schooling. Strategies and practices that support students with complex learning profiles to be genuinely included, at all stages of learning, will be discussed.

 

Program Coming Soon.
