Inclusion Palooza 2026

Inclusion Palooza is an annual, full-day professional learning event designed for anyone supporting children with special needs in typical learning environments.

Today’s classrooms are more complex than ever. Teachers are expected to meet diverse needs, support regulation and behavior, collaborate with families and therapists, and still deliver high-quality instruction. Inclusion Palooza exists to make that work more manageable, effective, and sustainable.

This one-day conference brings together experts in education, therapy, mental health, and advocacy to provide real, usable strategies—not theory—for supporting children with special needs in inclusive settings.

Attendees will choose from multiple breakout sessions focused on:

• Inclusive classroom practices
• Behavior, regulation, and sensory supports
• Collaboration with families and service providers
• Understanding evaluations, IEPs, and next steps
• Strengthening the early childhood and K–12 workforce

Whether you’re a teacher, therapist, parent, case manager, or Guardian ad Litem, Inclusion Palooza offers insight you can use immediately in classrooms, homes, and support plans.

✔ Expert-led sessions
✔ Multiple breakout options
✔ Networking with professionals across disciplines
✔ Breakfast and lunch included

Inclusion Palooza isn’t about awareness—it’s about building capacity, strengthening systems, and ensuring children with special needs are supported meaningfully in the environments where they learn and grow.

If you work with children—or advocate for them—this is the training you don’t want to miss.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
