Early Education Staff- What to Know, What to Say, and How to Support Children with Disabilities
August 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
The Philadelphia Family Support Projects at Vision for Equality would like to invite Philadelphia early education staff and leaders in to a virtual learning and collaboration opportunity. We help families find and navigate supports and services for their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including autism such as applying for medical assistance, finding a preschool or daycare, applying for waivers, or acquiring supports in their homes like home health services and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). We also provide individual peer support, support group meetings, and trainings for caregivers.
We would like to support you as your organization as you create inclusive settings for all children to learn and thrive. As such, we are offering a free workshop for your team.
What to Know, What to Say, and How to Support Children with Disabilities will cover:
- How to understand disability through the models of disability.
- How to foster a sense of belonging in your classroom.
- How inclusion benefits everyone.
- How to talk about disability with your students.
- How to facilitate full participation for all students (and the resources available to support you in that).
- How to refer families for additional support.
This workshop will be offered twice, but you only have to register once. Everyone who registers will receive the link to the recording and a copy of the presentation.
