In Gbarnga, one family struggled to keep their child in school due to misconceptions about disability and low awareness of inclusive learning approaches.
Through IWA-Liberia's education and inclusion support, the family and school leadership engaged in practical dialogue on classroom adaptation and participation.
Teachers received orientation on inclusive practices, while the family gained tools to advocate respectfully and consistently for their child's needs.
The learning environment improved, peer interaction increased, and confidence grew among both educators and caregivers.
The school now serves as a local example of how inclusion can work when communities, families, and institutions collaborate.
