This document outlines a strategy for using a local to national community development approach to improve educational attainment for people with disabilities. The strategy involves (1) empowering individuals and families at the local level to develop support plans, (2) bringing together local education and disability sectors to increase support, and (3) leveraging successful local approaches at provincial/national levels to influence policy change. The approach is rooted in communities and aims to build inclusive solutions from the ground up while also facilitating cross-sector collaboration and information sharing across levels of government.
