The amount of self-advocacy that disabled young people have to do to make ableist school systems work for them is huge. We hear time and time again from young people that getting reasonable adjustments implemented is often an unnecessarily arduous battle.

We asked the LUNA community What an Accessible Classroom Looks Like & here is what they said… There are a huge range of adaptations that make a learning space accessible for disabled individuals. Some are quick & easy to implement, others take a bit of creative thinking!

"I never knew anyone older than me who had a feeding tube, I wish I’d known that I’d still be able to follow my dreams when I was younger." This blog post is such an incredible read, and so powerful for young people to be able to see the possibilities amongst challenging health

For those of you who previously read my son’s blog, he’s now updated it. If you’ve never read it & are interested in the perspective of a young person who has been tube fed for 12 yrs & you are prepared for your assumptions to be challenged, read on.

The challenges faced by disabled students are many and multiple. You cannot think about each of these challenges in isolation, the cumulative impact on a young person’s education experience can be substantial! #InclusiveEducation #DisabledStudent #University #Disability
