There are also Jewish texts, outlining the idea that creating inclusive and welcoming communities is an enduring Jewish value. The package includes activities and material that you can use for your own learning or to train other leaders. Topics include The Autistic Spectrum, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyspraxia, Downs Syndrome.
This resource introduces the concept of inclusive practice and the values which underly our commitment to including young people with disabilities and special needs. It offers a definition of inclusion and an introduction to how we can begin to think about supporting young people with diverse needs.
This resource contains a series of Jewish texts from Torah and Talmud which explore the theme of inclusion. These texts encourage us to appreciate diversity and can act as a great educational example of how Jewish values and traditional sources can inform the way in which we choose to treat others and build inclusive communities. The texts cover issues such as understanding illness, physical disability and special educational needs. You can use these texts as a training tool or to trigger discussion amongst young people about inclusion and diversity.
This resource offers two different theoretical models for understanding disability - the Social and Medical Models. These models inform how we respond to disability - does the world need to adapt to accomodate the individual? Or should the individual adapt to fit in with the rest of the world?
This resource includes descriptions of different learning styles, as well as explanations and information about particular special educational needs such as Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyspraxia.
This is a model activity which can be adapted and run with groups of young people to explore themes of diversity, inclusion, individual needs and community.
