Anti-Ableism in Primary Education through Imagination and Play

The number of disabled children being educated in mainstream settings is increasing.

Alongside this has been a rise in ableism, a type of discrimination and exclusion that devalues and oppresses disabled people. At the same time, educators report that they don't feel confident talking about disability in the classroom. In this workshop, we will share our anti-ableism research and resources. These accessible resources have been co-created with invested stakeholders for use in schools and community settings and mapped to the national curriculums in England and Scotland for 4-11 year olds. These resources are intended to enhance anti-ableist practice and foster constructive conversations about disability with children. This workshop will include an overview of our research findings and methods, and hands-on activities using our free-to-access educational resources.
