What is an inclusion helper?

Inclusion Helpers are educational support staff who assist students with special needs or disabilities to fully participate in mainstream classroom activities. They work alongside teachers to provide individualized support, adapt materials, and help implement learning strategies tailored to each student's needs. Their goal is to promote an inclusive learning environment, ensuring that all students have equal access to educational opportunities. Inclusion Helpers may also assist with communication, mobility, or behavioral challenges to help students thrive academically and socially.
