About us
Includa is a shadow teacher and inclusion support service. We connect families with qualified shadow teachers, so children with additional needs can learn, connect, and grow alongside their classmates.
Our mission
To make inclusive education possible for every child, one classroom at a time.
What we believe in
Every child belongs
Children with additional needs deserve to learn in the same classrooms as their peers.
Care comes first
We get to know each child as a person, not a diagnosis.
Professional support
Our shadow teachers are vetted, trained, and accountable to families.
Working together
Parents, schools, and shadow teachers work as one team around the child.
