          InclusionAccessing Schools, Neighbourhoods and Communities for Physical and Social Inclusion.

The Inclusive Schools Checklist

The Inclusive Schools Checklist is a reliable and valid tool that identifies 76 potential architectural barriers (for the entrance way, ramps, entrance door, passageways, washrooms, signage and safety features, water fountains, elevators, classrooms, stairs and hand rails, library, and recreational facilities), 44 potential inclusive classroom practices and 23 potential school/school board inclusive policies.

The specifications for the measurements are based on standardized child and adult dimensions and anthropometrics identified in standardized building codes that apply to both elementary and high school students as well as an extensive literature review and key expert consultations.

Communities

Apriori Research also works with accessiblility tools and with students with disabilities and/or special needs and their families to identify inclusion within neighborhoods and communities, focusing on: physical accessibility, social inclusion in programming and services and access to needed information. For  example, environments examined for physical and social inclusion include:

  • Building types (schools, public buildings, day care centres…)
  • The availability of recreational areas and green space
  • Playgrounds/parks
  • Community/neighborhood egress (sidewalks, curb cuts, ramps)
  • Opportunities for participation in sports and social programs
  • Access to information regarding community services and programs
