The Whizz Kidz School Report
Young wheelchair users do not always have the opportunity to achieve the same educational outcomes as their non-disabled peers, and we want this to change. We wanted to better understand school experiences, identify any gaps in support, and find ways to enhance inclusion for both young wheelchair users and schools.
To do this, the Whizz Kidz Youth Board developed two surveys - one for school colleagues and one for young wheelchair users. These surveys were designed to gather valuable insight, enabling us to understand the school experience from both perspectives and identify areas for improving inclusion.
Wheelchair accessibility and inclusivity are crucial to creating a supportive and equitable educational environment. This report focuses on practical lived experiences of school colleagues and young wheelchair users, and outlines recommendations that are as easy as A, B, C,
- Accessibility: how inclusion and accessibility can be improved
- Best Practices: what is currently being done that can be improved
- Change: recommendations to start making education equitable for all
