We Are All Different Learners - The Story of The Inclusive Outdoor Classroom

The Inclusive Outdoor Classroom (IOC) was established in January 2016 by Anne Sivanathan, in response to parents' pleas for more resources and services for neurodivergent children. The philosophy behind IOC is simple - that all children benefit from outdoor learning, and that by integrating outdoor and indoor programs, an optimal environment for children's learning and development is created. We catch up with Anne, to find out more about her and the IOC's work, through the years.
