Sensory-friendly learning: Strategies for inclusive classrooms

Inclusive education: The Australian context

Inclusion involves the right to participate in school culture and curriculum for all students. Inclusive education ensures that every student, including those with disabilities, can access, participate, and feel supported in their educational goals. Inclusive schools foster professional learning communities that empower teachers to implement best practices and utilise current, evidence-based strategies, facilitating optimal learning outcomes for students.

Inclusion for students with sensory sensitivities is very important for participation in education. This importance is increasingly being recognised in government policy discussions.
