The Importance of Teacher Aides in Supporting Social Inclusion in Schools

Teacher aides have a valuable role to play in supporting social inclusion for students with disability. Social inclusion takes place in class and in the playground, and students who are not included may feel lonely and lack a sense of belonging. 

In this webinar, Professor Susan Balandin, Inaugral Chair in Disability and Inclusion at Deakin University, draws on international research literature and her team's own recent research to highlight some of the challenges that students with disability encounter.
