Social and Human Rights Models of Disability. Success-focused approaches to inclusion

The way educators think about disability has the biggest influence on the practices and, success of an inclusive preschool program. Join us in for this webinar where we will:

• Unpack the different models of disability and reflect on which lens we are looking through as we work with children with disabilities and their families at preschool.
• Reflect on unconscious bias and the power of positive mindsets.
• Consider the legislation and frameworks that guide our practice and pedagogy.
• Discuss practical ways to implement a social and human rights model of disability in your preschool setting.
