2026 Inclusion Academy Application

Shift systems. Promote opportunity.

Applications are due June 30!
Do you want to better understand disability rights and learn how to be a strong advocate for students? Apply for the Inclusion Academy! This class series is designed for parents and allies who want to advocate for inclusive learning, preschool through K-12.

Classes are free, but space is limited. Priority will be given to people who live in King County. This series will be in person, at our offices at 2650 S 200th Street, Suite 101, SeaTac, WA.

Class lineup:
  • Saturday, September 19, 9 am to 2 pm - Setting the Stage (note - longer class time)
  • Saturday, September 26, 9 am to noon - Unpacking Disability
  • Saturday, October 3, 9 am to noon - Rights to Inclusion
  • Saturday, October 10 - at-home study - How Schools Work
  • Saturday, October 17, 9 am to noon - Inclusive Practices in School
  • Saturday, October 24, 9 am to 2 pm - How Change Happens (note - longer class time)
WHAT TO EXPECT: We use presentations, small and large group discussion, activities, and reflection in our classes, and we offer additional resources online.

OUR GOAL? Belonging and membership for all. Disability is a type of diversity, and whether folks with disabilities thrive depends on how accessible and inclusive their community is. The Inclusion Academy helps people make the connection between inclusion and well-being; explore disability history, rights, and justice; and learn how to shift public systems through civic engagement.
