''No child should be treated unfairly on any basis”
Inclusion is not just about a child with a disability, but an approach that ensures all children have opportunities to learn and be valued as unique individuals. The IECII offers high-quality, evidence-based training for educators and practitioners, from identification of early developmental vulnerabilities through to transition beyond the service. With adaptable topics and tools for various cultural contexts, our aim is to equip professionals to support every child in reaching their individual potential.
