Description
The framework
for this online course is CARA's Kit: Creating Adaptations for
Routines and Activities. Participants will be provided with
information, tools and resources to guide them through the process of making
adaptations to the classroom environment, routines and/or activities that
support individuals or groups of children who are experiencing challenges. Participants
will conduct assessments, prioritize needs and implement adaptations in the
early childhood environment, that support the full inclusion of a child and/or
children in their care. Guidance for working with both toddlers and
preschool-age children is provided. As participants explore various classroom
situations, they will find them linked to Pennsylvania's Early Learning
Standards for Toddlers and Pre-Kindergarten.
