Supporting the next generation to build a kinder, more inclusive world.

Our Approach

We are passionate about supporting schools to ensure their students are equipped with the skills to build a more inclusive world, beginning within their own school community. With a focus on disability and neurodiversity, we help students develop the attitudes and skills that empower them to genuinely include and embrace their peers.

Evidence Behind the Practices

Students with disability are often more isolated than their peers at school (Biggs & Carter, 2016). Research shows that combining education about disability with meaningful contact between students produces the most lasting change in attitudes (Rademaker et al., 2020).

Flying Fox programs are built on repeated, authentic engagement, because the research tells us that is what creates lasting change.
