On September 10, 2024, the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution recognizing World Cerebral Palsy Day in October, a milestone shaped through collaboration between Board Member Scott Schmerelson’s office and Inclusive Sol, the nonprofit I founded.

Navigating disability systems as a parent revealed gaps in awareness and inclusion. This resolution shows what advocacy and partnership can achieve.

The resolution promotes awareness, educator training, inclusion, disability visibility, and opportunities for LAUSD students with disabilities.

It shows systems evolve when communities ask questions, build relationships, and advocate for change.

This milestone belongs to families, educators, disability advocates, and allies working toward schools where inclusion becomes part of culture, not simply compliance.

Deep gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this possible.
