• promote positive images of disabled people in twenty communities to break down barriers and negative attitudes toward implementing inclusive schools
• increase the ability of parents and disabled people to advocate for the right of disabled children and youth to receive educational opportunities equal to those of other children and for the rights of people with disabilities in general
