Encourage participation by building in improved systems for disability access

Seek engagement with a wider and more representative range of people with disabilities

Strengthen mechanisms to better evaluate disability-inclusion in programme design

Develop and make accessible opportunities for people with disabilities to gain leadership, research and programmatic skills

Create, adopt and maintain a collaborative ethos for programming that genuinely adopts the principle of equal partnership

More evidence is needed if we are to understand how, and for whom, inclusive education works in LMIC, particularly in relation to academic achievement.

More evidence is needed regarding educational outcomes of children with disabilities in response to various interventions, as these are seldom measured in LMIC.

Integrating best practices from rehabilitation and special education needs to be facilitated in low-resource settings.

We need to involve parents in educational interventions.

Inclusive education settings need universal interventions.

Schools for children with disabilities can include targeted prevention interventions to reduce perpetration and victimisation.

Educators need capacity development in order to help prevent and respond to bullying.

Interventions need to be multicomponent and address the systemic roots of victimisation.

Use the Washington Group Enhanced Short Set (WGES), supplemented by other tools as relevant

Dedicate sufficient resources to translation and training

Follow guidance to analyse, disaggregate, interpret and present data

Where insufficient resources exist to embed the WGES, consider alternatives but invest in pilot testing first

Include assessment of impairments or health conditions depending on the research question and resource availability

Invest in further research to strengthen identification tools for people with disabilities

Disaggregate evidence on what works in health system strengthening by disability status

Produce more rigorous evidence on what works in strengthening disability-focused services

Integrate relevant CBR activities, and Rehabilitation Services into general health policy and sector strengthening activities

Involve people with disabilities in participatory governance of health systems at all levels

Train generalist healthcare workers to provide healthcare to people with disabilities.

Train nurses or community health workers to provide specialist knowledge concerning disability within general healthcare settings.

Deliver preventative health checks for people with disabilities

Deliver anti-stigma interventions for mainstream healthcare workers.

Reasonable accommodations need to be made to make healthcare accessible to people with disabilities.

Coordinated care and multi-sectoral coordination of care for people with disabilities seems to have positive effects, but models which work in LMIC need to be explored
