Registration deadline Dec. 2, 2011

Your Choice:
December 8, 2011 @ Testo's Restarant, Bridgeport, 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
or
December 9, 2011 @ New Britain YWCA, New Britain, 9:00 am - 2:30 pm

What are the legal requirements for including children with special needs in OST programs? How do we handle challenging behaviors? What types of accommodations are needed to support children with differences? How can we train all staff on inclusion?

Join us for an interactive discussion designed to answer YOUR questions on inclusion. We'll share stories and learn about resources to create a welcoming place for all children.
