Inclusion Outreach Program Information Outreach is an outreach service mandated to assist schools throughout British Columbia, in meeting the educational needs of students with multiple severe physical and cognitive disabilities. A team, consisting of a teacher, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and speech-language pathologist provide support through a variety of services. PHILOSOPHY All children, even those challenged by very severe disabilities, are learners and our challenge as educators is to help them grow to their potential. In order to facilitate that growth, we need a clear vision of their future and concrete goals that work towards that vision. This can best be done by a team of people which may include parents, classroom teacher, teaching assistant, principal, school special education teachers, district support teachers and therapists. Fitting the student goals into the activities of the regular classroom allows the student with multiple severe disabilities to learn along with his/her peers. FOCUS The focus of this program is two-fold: Provision of information and strategies specific to the student with multiple severe disabilities to maximize his/her learning Provision of information, inservice and teaching strategies to support the classroom teacher and support team to meet the educational needs of the student with multiple severe disabilities.
