<p>Our Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) EmbraceAbilities grant team is proud to be one of seven Special Education Resource Leads (SERLs) within the CA Statewide System of Support. Our project goal is to build capacity by providing support for systemic, continuous improvement to County Offices of Education (COEs) and Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to include students with disabilities, more specifically, students with extensive support needs. During the first year of this grant project, we visited several sites within 17 COE-operated regionalized programs. We collected data via classroom walkthroughs, student, family, and staff interviews, and surveys to identify best practices and opportunities to support programs from a systems perspective.<br /> <br />For the second year of the EmbraceAbilities grant project, we are excited to hold a two-day Learning Institute, during which we will share promising practices from across California to support the inclusion of students with extensive support needs. We are honored to have SWIFT's National Center on Inclusion Toward Rightful Presence as an integral part of our Institute. <br /><br />We would like to highlight our collaboration and partnership with Tulare COE partners for sharing their space, time, and expertise.</p>
