Classroom Integration Workshop Toolkit
The Family Advisory Committee at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital has created a workshop for teachers, and teacher candidates, to explore the topic of creating inclusive activities in elementary school. Through real stories and an experiential learning activity, we hope to show that small changes can make a big difference to the experiences of children with various types of special needs (including physical, communication, intellectual and/or behavioural exceptionalities), in the school system.
The workshop has been successfully delivered in both public and private schools, and as part of a teacher training course. We also offer our resources in an online format, so that you will now how the opportunity to deliver this workshop. Whether you use our materials as an additional resource for teachers, or you deliver our prepared integration workshop, we hope that you find these materials useful for creating an inclusive environment in your school.
If you are interested in having members of our Family Advisory Committee deliver this workshop in your school, or would like further support in using our materials, please feel free to contact us at: facchair@hollandbloorview.ca
