Wicklund Inclusion Week

Presented by Wicklund Elementary and the WSF Inclusion Committee

Did you know that disability affects approximately 61 million, or nearly 1 in 4 (26%) people in the United States living in communities? Disability affects more than one billion people worldwide! Many students at our school are living with a disability. Inclusion week is dedicated to building awareness, acceptance and appreciation of children with disabilities of all kinds!
