In this session we will discuss the importance of building relationships with families in order to have effective communication.
Acknowledge, Ask and Adapt
TRAINER: TRACEY BARKER

This strategy helps you communicate and understand the reasons behind the beliefs, values, and behaviors of families in addition to responding in culturally sensitive ways.

This training focuses heavily on laws, specifically IDEA- Part C & B, and ADA. Participants will review IFSP's & IEP's and learn how to utilize these documents to better teach and work with the children in their classrooms who have a special need or disability. The training will cover attitudes, such as personal and society attitudes on inclusion, and how to work closely with parents and families of children with special needs or disabilities. Typical and Atypical development will be discussed; as well as how to create a high quality inclusive classroom and how to adapt the setting, materials, and curriculum to help meet children where they are.
