  text: "Research in inclusive education reveals multiple studies that explore the
    efforts of individual stakeholders to create an equitable educational experience
    for students with disabilities. However, these individual efforts are often examined
    discretely, compartmentalising the contributions of various stakeholders. As a
    consequence, the complex interplay between these contributions has not been fully\r\nexplored,
    with the capacity for a rich network of support being assumed rather than explicitly
    constructed. This report draws on the personal reflections of nine academics in
    the field of inclusive\r\neducation from Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, Italy,
    and Switzerland. Serving as both contributors and participants, this study draws
    together their personal interpretations and their exper-\r\ntise regarding the
    value of collective and collaborative inclusive education. Inductive thematic
    analysis of participant reflections yielded the view that stakeholders working
    together within an educational setting, offers more effective and appropriate
    opportunities to support learners with additional needs."
