Teacher Training: Inclusive Play-Based Learning

The Challenge

Teachers, especially in mainstream and integrated settings, often lack practical strategies for including learners with disabilities in everyday classroom activities.

My Role

Co-facilitated teacher professional development sessions on inclusive play methodologies and Universal Design for Learning, in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Ministry of Education.

Impact

More than 400 teachers trained across special schools, integrated programmes, mainstream schools, and early childhood centres — building confidence, awareness of low-cost adaptive materials, and stronger classroom inclusion strategies.

Equipping teachers to see play not as a break from learning, but as one of its most powerful pathways.

Let’s work together

Building something in disability inclusion or education?

I take on a select number of projects and speaking engagements each year. If you’re working on something that could benefit from my experience — a training, a study, a policy conversation — I’d like to hear about it.
