Educational Consultation and Training

BUILDING INCLUSION

While full inclusion is always the ultimate goal, true full inclusion can not exist unless needs can be met, accommodations can be made on the fly, and modifications remain even if service providers are not present. The only way to ensure this happens is if ALL adults have the knowledge, skills, and understanding it takes to provide this level of support. This sounds overwhelming but fortunately, it doesn't have to be. Providing all staff (general education teachers, paraprofessionals, specials teachers, intinerants, bus drivers, and many more), with some very basic behavior awareness, understanding, and strategies allows the community as a whole to build a truly inclusive environment. This addresses needs proactively and significantly reduces the occurences of challenging behavior across the educational setting. Balancing the needs of students and staff alike is a complicated world of moving parts, perception, and finetuned skill sets. But with the right training, perspective, and set of tools, any adult can increase the success, independence, and feeling of belonging for any student.
