Parents Alliance for Inclusion Newsletter

The Irregular Newsletter #5 — 4 January 2026

Thank you for being a part of our Parents Alliance for Inclusion community. Happy New Year!

Short newsletter today. As discussed in our recent 30 minute podcast, on 10 January we are starting monthly affinity group meetings via Zoom. In case you missed it, here’s our December 2025 podcast link.

Please join to connect with our global community.

A yellow light bulb on a light blue background. Inside the light bulb there is text that reads "Illuminating International Inclusion" followed by a smaller font that reads "a podcast by". Below that is the Parents Alliance for Inclusion logo. The logo is in black on a light blue background. The icons of the logo are an adult head and a smaller child head, side by side, both looking upward toward the future. Beneath the two heads is the organization name "Parents Alliance for Inclusion" in a ReadEx Pro font designed for dyslexic readability.

Two Affinity Groups

We will have two separate affinity groups for parents of neurodivergent and disabled children in the international community.

  1. For parents of children that are or have attended international schools (who are *not* education professionals).
  2. For education professionals — including international school educators — that are parents of children that are or have attended international schools.

The first flyer below is for group one, the second flyer is for group two. Group one will be hosted this time by our CEO Jon Springer. Group two will be hosted this month by the wonderful Emmeline Barnes from our Advisory Council.

* Why is it called “The Irregular Newsletter”?

Our intention is to share a new newsletter when we think we have enough new information to share. We aim for the newsletters to become more frequent, and at the same time, we know everyone has busy lives and full email boxes. Therefore, we would rather our newsletter be like an “irregular friend”, a friend that you don’t see often, yet is always good to see and easy to interact with.
