Kids Included Together (KIT) specializes in providing practical training for community–based organizations committed to including children with and without disabilities into their recreational, child development and youth development programs. Come to this special Regional Training to meet our staff and learn the basics of creating inclusive environments in your organization. Attend either session or both – whatever your schedule allows! And because we are an authorized provider of IACET, you can earn CEUs for attending.
FACING YOUR FEAR FACTOR - Including children with disabilities in child and youth development programs can be very challenging, but nothing is more rewarding than witnessing a child make a friend, enjoy a game or experience an accomplishment. This highly–interactive workshop will allow participants to face the fears involved in inclusion (I wasn't trained for this! I don't know what to do! I don't know anything about that disability!) through activities designed to promote an understanding of inclusion and how to support children with disabilities.
RESPECTFUL ACCOMMODATIONS - The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) addresses the necessity of making accommodations for children with disabilities so that they can participate in community programs. This course provides an overview of the philosophy of inclusion, insight into what constitutes a "respectful accommodation" and practical techniques to use immediately in your program.
