Overview

Mission

One classroom supports the inclusion of children with special needs in local catholic parish schools by educating about inclusive learning, providing access to expert resources, and creating forums to share best practices.

What it reported doing in 2025

Parents & families - support for parents and families of children with idd is at the heart of one classroom's mission. We walk in solidarity and shared faith with a national network of catholic parents who navigate the unique challenges and blessings of having a child with idd. Resources in our one classroom manual provide insights for those asking, "what's next?" locally, we strive to build community among parents in the archdiocese of st. Louis seeking to foster lifelong connections and fellowship for themselves and their children. Further, engaging parents and families of neurotypical children is an important part of making inclusion a core value for the whole parish and school community.
