Schools must take steps to assess student needs, provide the necessary services and tools, and train teachers to support these students. By working together, we can create an inclusive and accessible school environment for all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a wonderful back-to-school season, everyone\u2014and may this be a year of progress, including in accessibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy new school year to all students!
