REACH MORE: Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation | Missoula, MT - Official Website - 0 views

  • Play has crucial and wide-ranging benefits to children and the people around them. When children of all abilities play together, kids learn to appreciate the differences between people and respect the perspective of others. Playing together connects our community and creates fun, happy memories we call all share.  These programs are designed to allow people with and without disabilities to recreate together. Give us a call to discuss inclusiveness options in our other recreation programs.  Please contact Meg Rogosienski at 552-6271 or email Meg. McCormick Park is home to Silver Summit, a new, universally-accessible playground. The All-Abilities Playground Project continues to raise funds to expand the playground.  Learn more at The Playground Project.

Physical presence isn't enough to ensure active participation and learning, and it can have a negative impact on the relationships between child and caregiver.

    Click here to register for this Conference  register by March 1st

    What:
    COPAA is premised on the belief that every child deserves the right to a quality education that prepares them for meaningful employment, higher education, lifelong learning, and full participation in their chosen communities. The key to effective educational programs for children with disabilities is collaboration, as equals, by parents and educators. This is the premise of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the federal statutes that guarantee children with disabilities a free, appropriate public education. Access to quality representation protects student and parent rights and levels the playing field to foster meaningful student and parent participation as equal members of the student's planning team. The COPAA Conference is the premier opportunity for training and networking with the nation's most experienced and knowledgeable special education advocates and attorneys. Participants attend to learn about the most recent cases, legislative changes, the latest advocacy issues and educational interventions. When/Where:
