Introduction

Training Modules for Inclusive Education in a Preschool Environment

It is the goal of this project to provide training and also provide examples of other programs within our country that are already including children with disabilities into the regular pre-school environment successfully. In essence, with the help of successful inclusion projects and exposure to appropriate and meaningful training, inclusion can become simply a way of life instead of something to be feared. In order to meet this goal a series of workshops have been developed on the Multiple Intelligence theory. Through this course of

study a process of awareness and appropriate strategies will be introduced that will enable the inclusion of children with disabilities into the regular classroom.
