    Inclusion is More Than a Program

    Gary Brucker, Program Director for Courage for Youth Association and Lauri Swann Hunt, founder of Ollibean, are guests at our roundtable this week.  The topic we are discussing is the notion that inclusion is more than a program and is based on attitudes and belief systems. In addition, it is important that schools must foster these attitudes through emotional and relational development in students.  This is a discussion you won't want to miss!

Not just for special education!

I have been a fan of The Inclusive Class for a long time and watching them grow and reach to the teachers and self-advocates is an awesome goal of their program. Keep listening!

Confused

I was hoping to listen to these while we are doing distance learning. None of them will open up. They say they are temporarily unavailable. Help please.

A great tool for teachers

As a teacher, I listen to this podcast ready to go with a notebook in hand. These episodes include great strategies for dealing with children who have challenges in the classroom.
