Explore resources that deepen your understanding of the diverse experiences of different individuals within our community, and discover inclusive practices that promote equitable access to learning for everyone.
Mobility Support
The need for mobility support can be permanent, intermittent, or temporary and can be caused by various factors.
People may experience different mobility challenges, such as limited range of motion, balance and coordination difficulties, or pain. Click below to learn about the different types of mobility needs, the barriers to accessibility and the inclusive practices for providing mobility support.
Hearing and Vision Support
Some students may require different levels of sensory support for their hearing and vision, and some needs may not be immediately apparent. It is important not to make assumptions and remain respectful.

Self-Regulation Support
Self-regulation refers to the ability to control one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. It involves managing impulses and ensuring thoughtful consideration before acting. Self-regulation is one of the five key components of emotional intelligence.
There are three types of self-regulation described in the page below: emotional regulation, cognitive regulation, and sensory regulation.
Building Inclusive Experiences
(Page under development)
Building inclusive experiences refers to the intentional design of learning environments that enable all students to participate fully and equitably.
Look forward to a page that outlines key models and types of disability, explores inclusive language and safe space practices, and introduces practical strategies such as inclusive syllabus statements and Universal Design of Learning principles.
