The Equal Access Committee is dedicated to fostering and advancing a culture of inclusion at La Ballona, ensuring that every student, teacher, and caregiver feels valued and supported. We are committed to addressing the needs of our students facing diversity or adversity due to mental or physical impairments or disabilities. Our committee provides a range of support services, including information and guidance on accessing special education resources, sensory supplies provisions, and social/communal support. Through these efforts, we strive to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Each classroom is equipped with sensory boxes stocked with tools and materials specifically chosen to assist students with additional sensory needs while engaging with the curriculum. We’ve collaborated closely with our fantastic Occupational Therapist, Alison Hickey Chen, to ensure these resources are effective and supportive.
