Decades of experience in training teachers all over the world guide our approach to first understand the needs of the community and teaching conditions before designing our professional development sessions for teachers and administrators seeking information on effective practices for including children with disabilities into schools.
Our guiding principles embrace the belief that all children can learn and focus on a child's ability rather than disability. Everyone can contribute positively to society and is a valuable member of a community.
