Abstract	The British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) represents 43,000 teachers and associated professionals in public schools across BC. We are committed to the inclusion of all students in BC's public schools, believing that every student can learn, and every student is entitled to an appropriate education and full range of education services in their community. Every day, teachers bring this commitment into their classrooms, using their professional judgement to meet the needs of all students, including children and youth with neuro-diverse special needs. Unfortunately, there are many barriers and obstacles to identifying and providing accessible and appropriate supports to all students who need them. Over the past year, the BCTF has engaged intensively with our membership and other education stakeholders to better understand the barriers facing children and youth with exceptionalities and special needs in our education system. This has included research sessions, focus groups, workshops, teacher interviews, surveys, and participation on sector committees. Below are three key improvements that could be made to services and supports for children and youth with neuro-diverse special needs and their families. (As Provided).
