In this blog post, Audrey Lukas shares her journey of finding an inclusive school for her son Chandler, who has spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Despite initial fears, Audrey found a school that embraced their family values and Chandler’s unique needs.
The school made practical adjustments such as accessible facilities, extra transition time, and visual aids. Teachers maintain open communication, creating a team approach for Chandler’s success. Events like Athletics Day were tailored to include Chandler, and his school even organized a heartwarming moment during assembly by pairing him with a buddy to help him accept his award.
These thoughtful actions show how small changes can foster inclusion and help children with cerebral palsy feel valued and capable. Audrey hopes her story inspires schools to prioritize inclusivity and support every child’s potential.
