Accessibility

Accessibility is removing barriers so everyone can meaningfully participate. When a SEPAG is accessible, there is a sense of inclusion and belonging for families. It is important to reflect on the barriers that exist and work collectively as a group to address the barriers so everyone can meaningfully participate in the mission of the SEPAG.
