 In our 11^th year we are focusing on Access and asking the questions ‘How far have we come? How far have we to go?’ UK Disability History Month runs from the online launch on the evening of 18^th November to 18^th December 2020.

For disabled people access is now a fundamental human right, as is gaining participation on an equal level with others, regardless of our impairments. Disabled people have struggled for many years to change society’s lived physical and information environment. 

Being physically present in the classroom is not the only option for getting an education these days. The world has changed and evolved over the courses of time, and so has the educational domain. Now online private high school is something that some people prefer to opt for. In the wake of the pandemic, in particular, the significance of online education has been further highlighted. The availability of multiple online platforms such as ‘inclusive solutions’ that are providing an opportunity to all the people around the globe by offering various online training programs is contributing to the success of online learning culture.

Inclusive education is incredibly important for learners of all types. 

It can be a challenge for school systems though, since it involves utilizing more resources to help different types of students. 

This does offer many benefits though, and inclusive facilitation in the classroom and for education purposes is very beneficial to children of all types, and for adults too. 

Writer’s block is a real thing, and no matter how good you are at writing, there are certain times where you just cannot bring yourself to write. There are several factors due to which you feel distracted or simply not in the mood to write. It happens to everyone, the experts, novices, and beginners! 

Whether you are writing content for your blog, writing your book, or a research paper, at times, it gets difficult even to complete one single sentence. No matter how urgent the deadline, you become distracted by the smallest things like sleep, food, or simply a text message. These distractions can be trouble for a writer. 

There are moments where you can write a lot in a little time, while someday it gets hard to even focus on what you have to write. If you are facing such a problem or find yourself too distracted to concentrate, here are a few tips that you can follow to stay consistent and focused: 

Adopting an adult with special needs is a noble act, whether you’re related to the individual or just want to help out someone who needs it. Discover if it’s possible right here…

In some countries it is still seen as involving attempts to integrate disabled children into regular schools. Internationally, however, it is increasingly seen as a principle that supports and welcomes diversity amongst all learners. In this way, inclusion is seen as a means of improving education for all.
