Inclusion 101 is a two-part interactive workshop designed to show caregivers how easy it is to ensure that their program is inclusive to all children. It examines inclusion and what it is, and teaches hands-on methods to develop an inclusive environment in simple, cost-effective ways. It also teaches how to successfully use developmental screening tools.
Workshops are available throughout Ontario. Contact your CMAS consultant if you are interested in hosting or attending Inclusion 101.
