By Working Together, We Can Create Meaningful Inclusion

It’s difficult to create meaningful inclusion! We know that’s true and we want to help. 


This website is filled with tools to help children without disabilities realize that children with disabilities are kids, just like them. 

           

At the same time, we hope children with disabilities feel more included as their peers, without disabilities, take time to get to ‘know’ them and learn about their disabilities.
