- raise awareness of the ableism, stigma and inequity that disabled people experience.
- provide leadership development to school leaders so that they are disability aware, and can
fully understand and deliver reasonable adjustments that make educational settings are accessible for all. - Challenge the deficit model of disability and promote the skills and talents of disabled
people in education.
