ABSTRACT
When I came to this school last year, my ambition was to make inclusion work, and for me that meant I had to convince the staff that including parents to a much greater extent than had previously been the case had to be part of the change. I knew there might be some resistance to the idea.There had been a great deal of scepticism when this was suggested at my old school, but from hearing about positive outcomes from staff communicating with parents and setting up meetings to share observations and assessments, I was eager to give it my best shot. I thought that the first step was to contact the nursery, because they were the group whose main focus was on observing children. The second was to share a letter from a parent to let all the staff share a little of what it must be like to have a child with a disability.
