The CHILD course is the brainchild of professionals with years of practice in the field of special and inclusive education.
It is based on the core belief that every regular ed. teacher can develop the sensitivity and skills to support learners with diversities and challenges.
In-service professionals have limited time to invest in self-development courses due to their hectic school schedules. This course focuses on ONLY the most relevant aspects; attitudes, skills, and knowledge that can help teachers start the process of Inclusive Education and helping learners with diverse needs.
