A peer of mine, Sarah, introduced me to a website that gives grants out to communities that want to involve students with disabilities in activities. "Let's All Play" supports organizations that involve kids with disabilities and without to move towards full inclusion. Organizations that are interested can go to this website and get started by ordering a manual to help guide them. The Lets All Play will help in any way possible. The program has helped the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club etc. The website gives personal statements from those who have used this program. Also, there is a donate page to this website for those who want to help and donate to this amazing program.
Check it out!
P.S.- Thanks Sarah!

Glad it was helpful!
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know there were so many organizations out there to help children with disabilities get involved in extra activities. I love that this is out there for families and they are able to help other programs as well. I think having the website put personal statements from people who have used it makes a big impact on families who might be skeptical or it might show them how positive it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
