Module 3: Quality of Life as a Context for Developing Meaningful Education Programs

Introduction

Student in a wheelchair graduating from high school.

When students graduate from high school, we want them to have the knowledge and skills required to pursue their dreams to live a happy and fulfilling life. For students with complex needs, this goal is no different. Students with complex needs can contribute to society, have friends, and enjoy full membership in their communities—all the things you value.

This module is to help you—educators and allied professionals—to use Inclusion Outreach practices to develop meaningful educational programs for your students with complex needs.

What You Will Learn

  • Inclusion Outreach’s philosophy of practice
  • The five Quality of Life Indicators
  • How to use community presence, choice, competence, respect, and inclusion to guide your educational practice for students with complex needs
