While the pandemic shed light on many barriers to access for people with disabilities, we are encouraged to see more intentionality in how people are promoting access and inclusion - one 'bright spot'. In this session, we highlight more of these 'bright spots' from 2020-21 and share how they are intentionally connected to supporting the whole child and every child. We take a look ahead and discuss how we can build on these bright spots to continue to increase access and inclusion for all.
