The Joyful Inclusion Community
Let’s build something better — together.
We understand that when a Family includes a child with special needs, they face unique challenges at home and in school. Whether they are navigating complicated systems, advocating for support, or balancing the needs of every family member, they must draw on reserves of resilience and strength. Several members of the Joyful Inclusion Team have experiences as family members, in addition to professional roles.
In working with Families, we have often found that they:
Feel overwhelmed navigating special education systems, such as IEPs and 504 Plans.
Struggle to establish strong, collaborative relationships with their child’s school.
Lack support or feel isolated.
Find it challenging to create inclusive environments in and outside of school.
Aren’t sure how to advocate for their child’s needs or systemic change.
Miss opportunities to celebrate their child’s achievements.
Our Community is a network Families can rely on for connection, knowledge, and encouragement, offering a supportive space to share experiences, celebrate successes, and navigate challenges together.
By joining the Joyful Inclusion Community, Families will find practical tools, expert insights, and peer-to-peer support to help you advocate effectively and foster positive growth for your children. With a focus on inclusivity and empowerment, our Community ensures that families feel valued, heard, and equipped to face both the unique and everyday aspects of their journey.
