Every child is unique. Each child must learn to live with his or her strengths and challenges. As adults, we each have our own reality to deal with. Despite this, everyone should feel comfortable and safe in their environment, have the chance to express themselves and feel that they matter to others. Isn't that the most important thing to do before you are ready to learn?

What if we proposed an environment that allowed each person to be themselves? Without categorizing differences. Without always trying to meet each need individually. What if it was possible to welcome each difference and each need so that they could coexist?

Whether a student or school staff identifies with a sexual diversity, a learning disability, an intellectual giftedness, a visible minority, a disability, several diversities at the same time or even no diversity at all, everyone should be able to realize his or her potential in every educational environment, without barriers and without discrimination: this is the idea at the heart of the concept of inclusive education. There are many tools to achieve this: universal pedagogical practices, use of accessible digital resources, reorganization of specialized services, training and professional development, etc.

With this issue, we would like to offer you some keys to better understand the links between accessibility, equity, diversity and inclusion (AEDI) - yes, we are adding the A to the usual trio! We invite you to discover practices that allow for the cohabitation of all diversities and to reflect on small and simple actions that you can take that have the potential to transform the daily lives of others for the better!

A special thanks to Marc Tremblay, accessibility consultant, who accompanied the team at each step of the preparation of this issue. He is a teacher in digital accessibility at the Cégep de Jonquière and editor-in-chief of aidestechnoscom. As an expert of the AÉDI, he was able to his precious advice to help us understand this important subject.
