Beyond One-Size: Is Inclusive Design the new Standard?

Description:

With special education enrollment doubling in the past 40 years and a growing recognition of diverse needs, including students with IEPs and learning differences, inclusive design has become central to the edtech development process. Yet many educators struggle to implement inclusive practices in daily learning. This panel unites industry leaders to share insights on proactively designing for the margins and creating tools that foster inclusive learning environments as we unpack a blue-sky vision for edtech and explore how these tools can empower every child to reach their full potential.
