Webinar: Ensuring Safe Routes to School Program Includes Children with Disabilities
Remind Me
| |  Safe Routes Coaching Action Network Webinar - May 25th (1pm ET)
| | | | | | | | Ensuring Your Safe Routes to School Program Includes Children with Disabilities  Presenters: Amy Rauworth, National Center on Physical Activity and Disability Jennifer Toole, National Center for SRTS, Toole Design Group Melody Geraci, Active Transportation Alliance In recent years, many schools have begun Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Programs that encourage more walking and bicycling. As you reach out to students to develop these programs, it is important to remember that students with disabilities can and should be a part of your program from the earliest planning stages. This webinar will address making your program inclusive: how to work with children with disabilities, what kinds of instruction they need and practical advice on involving students, their parents and special education professionals. This webinar is part of the Safe Routes to School Coaching Action Network Webinar Series, developed by America Walks and the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
