Keynote Address<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ISAAC is delighted to announce a very special keynote program.<\/p>\n

The program will begin with a short trailer of All of Us<\/em><\/strong>, a film produced by M&F Films and AssistiveWare. All of Us<\/em> is the story of a school, Ruby Bridges Elementary, that made a radical choice: to educate every child in the same classroom, regardless of disability or support needs.<\/p>\n

This will be followed by a keynote address by Cathi Davis<\/strong>, principal of Ruby Bridges Elementary School in Washington State, USA, and the 2025 Washington State Elementary Principal of the Year.<\/p>\n

We will then welcome Kevin Williams<\/strong>, member of the ISAAC LEAD Committee. Kevin will explore the foundations of genuine inclusion, and how we can advance it – today, tomorrow and beyond.<\/p>\n
