An inclusive classroom ensures that all children have the opportunity to participate, regardless of their abilities. During this session participants will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of what a quality inclusive classroom looks, sounds and feels like. Through discussion and reflection participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives, ideas and resources that they can bring back to their own classrooms.

Session Two: Using Visuals Supports

Visual supports are used as an effective strategy that support all children throughout the day. In this session participants will learn about the purpose and use of visuals and will be introduced to various visuals supports such as; visual schedules, choice boards and personal stories. Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the resources needed to create their own visuals.

Commitment to both sessions is required.
