What is Inclusion and why is it important? How can I help my program be more inclusive? Join us to get these questions answered and learn about the philosophy of inclusion and how it benefits children and young people with and without disabilities. Attendees will learn about socially responsible language, how to gather information, and will learn practical skills that will help them fully include children and youth of all abilities in their programs.
