Where we work

We are committed to education because we believe all learners of any age, ability, and zip code can thrive and succeed. We are developing a model for national social change to close learning gaps at the intersection of education, racial justice, and disability rights.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn. The lack of accessible resources, coupled with inadequate teacher training and persistent social stigma, creates a significant achievement gap for students with print disabilities in developing countries.

The Inclusive EdTech Working Group is working to maximize the contribution of educational technology to inclusive education for learners with disabilities in low and middle-income countries and marginalized communities. We are focused on the intersection of EdTech and Inclusive Education and how to promote positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities worldwide.
