My journey as an Inclusion Lead at SDU University, a private university in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan, has taught me the importance of advocating for change, crafting effective policies, and building support systems for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This leadership role has not only transformed the experiences of our students but has also allowed me to contribute to a broader conversation on inclusion in higher education across Kazakhstan.
