The original multimedia product used for this portion of the assignment will tie into the
lesson for the first session within the workshop series.The pictures and the movie clips that will be
watched before the first session would begin will give the students a feel for the concept of inclusion.Below
are the instructional objectives that would follow during this multimedia product. The pictures and the movie clips would
help the student (classroom teacher) in understanding the concept of what inclusion means while also giving them a visual
representation of a few inclusive programs that have been successfully implemented.

Purpose of Original
Presentation
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 regularpre-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 issues of inclusion of children with disabilities into the preschool classroom and
instruction 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.The first session of this workshop series is included in this presentation material. You
will need Microsoft Powerpoint to view this presentation.
