Community calendar

Where the community comes together.

Change happens when people connect — when experiences are shared, understanding deepens, and a community finds its collective voice. These events bring together parents, learners, educators, researchers, and advocates to learn from one another, explore what system change really means, and build the shared voice that can advocate for the reforms that have already been called for.

Understanding NCCD — what every family needs to know

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability shapes how schools are funded to support your child — yet most families have never heard of it. This webinar breaks down what NCCD is, how it works, what it means for adjustments in your child's school, and how to advocate effectively within the current system.

How to make your voice count in system reform

Change requires more than frustration — it requires strategy. This workshop introduces practical tools for community advocacy: how to engage with politicians and policymakers, how to use submissions and inquiries, how to share your story effectively without burning out, and how the Helen's Way reform agenda translates into real actions you can take.

Panel All community Free

What does a truly inclusive school look like?

A panel conversation bringing together educators, researchers, parent advocates, and neurodivergent adults to explore what genuine inclusion means in practice — not inclusion as a compliance exercise, but schools that are genuinely designed to meet the range of learners who walk through their doors. What exists already? What is possible? And what has to change at a systemic level to get there?
