A message from the DSHS’ Developmental Disabilities Administration
Spread the Word: Inclusion Works and it is Our Future!
We continue engaging with families and education system partners to advance meaningful inclusion in our state’s public schools for all students, especially students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are excited to share new resources highlighting how we can all collaborate to build inclusiveschools.
Inclusive education for students who receive special education services involves access to learning opportunities in general education and the inclusive Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has created new materials for students, families, and advocates who attend IEP meetings
