In this webinar, The Goodpush Alliance presents what has already been learned from their research into inclusive skate programs and accessible skate spaces. They also host a panel discussion between the guest speakers about the importance of exclusive sessions for the disability community, and how projects outside of the disability community can better prepare themselves to be more inclusive. Lastly, they discuss all together some practical steps that you can take to make your skate sessions/space more inclusive!
