Consider the following questions:
- What changes did you make?
- Why did you make these changes?
- How do these changes improve accessibility and inclusion?
Review your adaptation
Consider the following questions:
- What makes your adapted material more accessible?
- Which learners would benefit most from these changes?
- Which barriers have been reduced or removed?
- What could be improved further?

•“One thing I discovered today is…”
• “For me, inclusion now means…”
• Reflection reinforces awareness and commitment to inclusive practice.
