Reaching all Learners: Inclusion and the Early Childhood Classroom: A Mini Conference with Matan
Join us for a mini conference "Reaching all Learners: Inclusion in the Early Childhood Classroom." This conference will explore how diagnosed or yet-to-be diagnosed challenges impact students' participation in an early childhood setting. We will look at how issues with sensory integration, expressive and receptive language and developmental/learning delays impact a child's individual experience and how these things can affect behavior. You will leave with concrete strategies and techniques for adapting everyday routines and activities to help ensure that all students can be successful in your classroom.
Matan Kids are experts in the field of Jewish education and inclusion. They guide, train and support Jewish community leaders and educators to provide purposeful, enriching, and inclusive opportunities for people with disabilities and their families.
