We fervently denounce all racism and violence, including the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, as well as the many others who are victims of systemic oppression in America. We stand in solidarity with the Black community in the fight against racial injustice.

In a society so desperately in need of change, we are called as educators to empower students to use their voices and challenge the status quo. The role of Achieve3000 in this broader movement is to raise up the voices of the Black Experience as an integral part of teaching and learning, leveraging the critical role of culturally responsive and responsible content to accelerate the skills of students. Achieve3000 has been, remains and will continue to increase our commitment to filling classrooms with materials which include strong positive Black voices and stories as lessons to learn from; to ensuring we provide materials which reach students who have been historically marginalized by racism, poverty and prejudice; and by serving children who have been left behind so that they can leap ahead. Our dream is a world where race, gender or zip code do not hinder a child's pursuit of their dreams.

Educators, students and parents can find hundreds of articles by searching for Civil Rights, African American, Racism, Poverty, Protest and related concepts. Our professional learning services teams help schools to curate specialty collections which speak to their communities and which can help all of us to lean in more closely, listen more intently, and care more deeply about issues of racism, poverty, protest and equality.

We recognize that this work is only beginning. Achieve3000 will continue to listen, learn, and improve. We ask you to share your suggestions with us so we can better educate and inspire students in the fight against racism. Please email us at racial.justice@achieve3000.com.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Have fun learning how facial expressions reveal what people are feeling!

The ability to identify facial expressions and emotions is important for interpersonal interactions and provides a basis for communications between two or more people. A young child may find such responses difficult and confusing at times. As they grow, children learn to associate certain facial expressions with given emotions that allow them to decipher how another person is feeling.

With Learn with Rufus: Feelings and Emotions:

Children will learn the facial expressions that correspond to emotions such as happy, sad, and anger

Children will learn how to identify easier fully-formed emotions and more difficult subtle emotions

You can customize the game to meet the needs of children with varying ability levels and learning styles

Youth Engagement

Nature Lab is The Nature Conservancy's youth curriculum platform.

Connect With Nature Middle school children birdwatch and learn about the species of birds during the First State National Park's Bioblitz outside Wilmington, Delaware. On May 20 and 21, 2016, the Nature Conservancy and the National Parks Service partnered with National Geographic to execute the First State National Park's first Bioblitz. Over the course of the two-day event, over 800 observations were recording and more than 300 species were identified. More than 30 volunteers, 200 middle and high school students, and 100 community members participated in nature walks, species inventories and educational science experiments. © Devan King/TNC

Nature is the fantastic factory that makes the building blocks of all our lives-food, drinking water, the stuff we own and the air we breathe. That's why The Nature Conservancy and its 1000+ scientists have created Nature Lab: to help students learn the science behind how nature works for us and how we can help keep it running strong.

Less Harm on the Farm: Regenerative Agriculture

Food is more than something we eat to survive; it's a part of how we thrive. Learn how regenerative agriculture can help us feed a growing population while restoring nature. Farmers and scientists show us how, together, we can turn one of today's biggest challenges into our greatest opportunity: a food system that goes beyond sustainability and creates positive growth for communities and the planet.

Virtual field trips are a game changer. Not only do they fill in for real field trips when budgets and other roadblocks prevent in-person options, but virtual field trips also open doors to educational experiences all over the country and the world, both past and present. No fundraising or permission slips required!

(Note: For anyone who needs it, YouTube offers a closed-captioning option. Just click the CC button in the bottom right-hand corner.)

Amazon Career Tours are free virtual field trips that inspire students to pursue careers of the future. Tour whenever, wherever on Kahoot! Each tour comes with a Teacher Toolkit that includes a facilitation guide and student worksheets.

2. The Zoo

There are so many amazing online options when it comes to zoos that we couldn't narrow it down to just one. Most zoos have live webcams in some of their most popular exhibits, such as the KC Zoo Polar Bear Cam and the Giant Panda Cam at Smithsonian's National Zoo. However, some zoos offer a more in-depth look. You'll definitely want to check out the San Diego Zoo as their site for kids includes behind-the-scenes videos and stories, as well as a variety of printable activities and online games. Check out our full list of virtual zoo goodness.

3. The Aquarium

It's a similar story with aquariums. You have your pick of live webcams, but our favorites are the Georgia Aquarium's Ocean Voyager webcam (wait for the whale shark!) and the "Jelly Cam" at Monterey Bay Aquarium (so soothing). The Seattle Aquarium even has a 30-minute video tour. Want more under-the-sea fun? Here's our ultimate list of virtual aquarium field trips.

4. The Farm

The classic preschool field trip goes online! You can have your pick of dairy farm field trips, but we like this one from the Dairy Alliance and this one from Stonyfield Organic. Farm Food 360 gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in Canadian farm and food tours-from raising pigs to making milk and cheese. We're also loving these virtual egg farm field trips from the American Egg Board.

5. An Art Museum

We found 20 art museums with virtual tours, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art's # MetKids and its awesome Where's Waldo? setup. And you can't miss the world-famous Louvre in Paris (no passport needed!). Check out the current virtual tours: Traveling Materials and Objects, the Advent of the Artist, the Body in Movement, and Founding Myths: From Hercules to Darth Vader!

6. A National Park

From webcams at Hawaii volcanoes to a virtual run along the rim of the Grand Canyon, you have tons of options here. Our top pick would have to be Yellowstone. The interactive maps are a great way to see the Mammoth Hot Springs and Mud Volcano, but we think kids will be psyched about the Old Faithful Geyser livestream and the opportunity to make their own predictions for its next eruption. Check out everything the National Park Service has to offer virtually.

7. A Planetarium

Through Stellarium Web, kids can explore over 60,000 stars, locate planets, and watch sunrises and solar eclipses. If you enter your location, you can see all the constellations that are visible in the night sky in your corner of the world.

Take your students on a virtual field trip of a recycling center and a modern landfill. Plus, there's a full-on curriculum that includes lesson plans, take-home handouts, and more.

A collaboration with over 1,200 leading museums and archives, Google Arts & Culture is an incredible storehouse of monumental works of art. We recommend the Street View and Play sections.

Boasting the world's largest collection of 360° image videos, 360 Cities provides kids with the opportunity to see stunning panoramas across the globe, including their video of the ice floe on the Vistula River in Poland.

It's the official residence of the Queen of England, and boy, is it opulent! Get a peek inside the gorgeous Grand Staircase, White Drawing Room, Throne Room, and Blue Drawing Room.

See one of the wonders of the world with this amazing, thousands-year-old fortification system known the world over. This virtual tour has four scenes available (you have to pay to get access to all 14). The bird's-eye view of Mutianyu pass is a highlight.

Most of us recognize the giant stone statues of Easter Island, but what's the story behind them? Nova's online adventure "Secrets of Easter Island" delves into the mystery with a virtual tour.

National Geographic lets you explore the world's largest cave, located in Vietnam. Use the interactive map to enjoy the fully immersive experience (sound on!).

You don't need a time machine! Discovering Ancient Egypt has a ton of free resources, but it's the interactive pyramid map and 3D temple reconstructions that really give it a field trip feel.

Virtually visit Turn Back the Clock, a museum exhibit that ran for two years at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. Through compelling personal stories, innovative interactive media, and pop culture artifacts, the exhibit takes guests through seven decades of history-from the dawn of the nuclear age to significant policy questions our leaders face today.

No, really! You can absolutely "go" to the red planet. With Access Mars, you can see the actual surface of Mars, recorded by NASA's Curiosity rover. Trust us-don't skip the intro. And if your kids liked that, check out this 4K tour of the moon. These may go down in history as some of the best virtual field trips your students get to experience.

Take a virtual tour of this historical battleship located on the Camden waterfront. This battleship has traveled more miles than any other!

No need to travel to Rome! Take in the amazing art and architecture located in the Vatican Museums with these 360-degree views.

Download the app and climb aboard the virtual tram line! Take a virtual walk through the Space Center Houston with informational stops along the way.

There are also options for virtual hands-on history workshops, including Wampanoag Pottery and Write Like a Pilgrim.

When you can't visit the museum in person, 3D virtual field trips to the Children's Museum Houston are the next best thing. All videos are produced and curated by museum educators and feature hands-on activities that can be done in the classroom. Topics include nutrition, math, states of matter, forces and properties of water, and more.

Expand horizons and
inclusivity through current events

When students can engage in meaningful conversation with their peers and families about world events, the immediate result is a positive sense of belonging. But the issue-based learning in each weekly edition of News2you also comes with many long-term benefits: the standards‑aligned articles and activities help students build life skills, become more motivated learners and even discover career options.

Access to a world beyond the classroom

As they experience new ideas through the content in News2you, students not only build comprehension and context relative to their community and world, they also develop new critical‑thinking and communication skills‑forming and expressing opinions about what they're learning. They're preparing to become productive citizens in life beyond the classroom.

Improved language and literacy skills

Research confirms that students who have access to newspapers in the classroom perform better on standardized reading tests. And for students with unique learning needs, the benefits of interacting with the informational text in each weekly edition are especially far reaching- expanding skills in reading, vocabulary, writing, digital literacy and more!

Enriching, relevant instruction and activities

Many classrooms across the country begin each day with "morning meeting," and there's no better way to spark conversation than with the day's news and weather.

I love News2you! I've been using it for nearly 20 years and have seen tremendous growth in my students. One of my favorite stories is about a little guy we had a while back, who had some significant disabilities, and after reading News2you, he returned to school and said, "˜Miss, I saw this on the news with my dad, and we talked about it.' I thought, how wonderful, what a great communication opportunity for their family.

I wasn't planning to continue to subscription because kids loose interest fast... but I'm so surprised. My kids, 4 & 7, actually watch video after video and tend to really listen. They sometimes complain, but as we homeschool now I ask them to watch one and they always open more. The robot Moby makes them laugh. But in the end, I was SO impressed with the Thanksgiving video. This video, and others, often explain exactly what I'm trying to explain or teach them, but the video does a better job :) Annie speaks slowly, clearly, with manageable kid vocabulary, complex ideas are simplified and memorable, and the visual keeps them engaged. The various sections have a lot of material, more than we could get to during our first month, so I'm in. I LOVE this app. And I never leave reviews, but I've tried dozens of learning apps in the past few months and this is one of two taking the cake.

In partnership with UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, Camp Kindness Counts provides parents with research-informed resources to raise kind, resilient kids through our "Families Building Communities of Compassion" initiative. Programming aims to help parents foster caring and courageous character in their children through character development, social emotional well-being and community development. We provide parents, caregivers and educator resources at our , Camps, Character Building Workshops, through a Speaker Series, on our website's character resource portal , and lastly through the Kind World Explorers™ resources addressed on this page. There are 16 organizations partnering in Greater Good Science Center's global parenting initiative.

The Kind World Explorers guidebook provides parents, caregivers and educators with activities and example conversations to help foster 12 specific character strengths in children and their family unit: Gratitude, Generosity, Forgiveness, Awareness, Authenticity, Compassion, Empathy, Love, Flexibility, Collaboration, Curiosity and Perseverance. Character strengths such as Purpose, Humility and Reliability are also highlighted in the guidebook. Each youth participant receives a Kind World Passport booklet to reflect in during their character development journey! For groups implementing the Kind World Explorer curriculum, Camp Kindness Counts staff also conduct (optional) research-based character building workshops to complement the curriculum. Supportive resources can also be found on the .

The Kind World Explorers guidebook is set up to develop 12 Character Strengths through three themes:

explores our connection to our self, and our ability to use our Character Strengths to take care of ourselves through self-awareness, emotional expression, and mindfulness activities.

explores social connections -- sharing Character Strengths to connect with and make an impact on the experiences of others.

explores global connections -- sharing Character Strengths with those we may never actually meet, but can make an impact on the experience of.

For each Character Strength, two activities will be presented for each theme. Groups "complete" a Character Strength by completing one activity in each theme. Each guidebook contains activities related to three Character Strengths.

The Kind World Passport is used as a reflection tool for kids of classrooms or families using Kind World Explorers guidebooks! As kids complete the activities, they will also take the time to reflect on what they did and how they felt in their Kind World Passports! Kids can track progress and receive recognition in their Kind World Passport with a special "Achieved" sticker!

Character Building Parenting Workshop (optional)

In-person Character Building Parenting Workshops have been indefinitely postponed. We hope to soon have a virtual workshop for parents!

This workshop offers character development research, self-care, and parenting tools, as well as introduces parents to the notion of Kind World Explorers.

With the workshop, parents will:​

1. Gain character development tools and self-care tools for challenges within themselves and with their children and friends

2. Understand the methods and evidence of role modeling, inductive parenting, and global community engagement

3. See Kind World Explorers guidebook as a means to foster character development in children while practicing and expanding ideas learned at the workshop

Who can use the Kind World Explorers resources?

Anyone, as long as you also keep it free! Parents, caregivers and educators can use this resource as they choose. Educators are welcome to use the activities as a learning resource to support social emotional learning and character development. Parents are welcome to start a Kind World Explorers club with their own family or gather some friends and set up a regular meeting time for activities. PTSAs, scouting organizations, homeschooling groups, houses of worship, or other parent-led organizations may also find the Kind World Explorers guidebooks to be a good fit to add to their programming. Your Kind World Explorers community is entirely yours to build!

Version 8.6.4

As we prepare for additional content related to coronavirus/COVID-19, this release enables display of multiple feed items and highlights to the "Staying Socially Connected" community designed to help people manage efforts towards social distancing.

Invaluable Tool, Constantly Evolving

Pacifica, especially the premium version, has been invaluable to my mental health. It's got an array of tools for you to use daily, including mood trackers, meditations, health trackers, a hope board, thoughts, and goals. Each tool has a number of options to choose from, and it's likely you'll find at least one thing helpful to you and your situation. They also have guided paths, which are daily tools to help you change the way you think. In addition, they also have community boards and a chat feature, which supremely help to know you're not alone and to be able to read what other people found helpful. Everything put together is a great resource for treating anxiety and depression. The free version is useful in itself, but I fell in love with the "guided paths" and wanted more out of it. The price of the app does not compare to the benefits I've received through consistent use of the app. One of the best parts is the involvement of one of the creators. He's always on the boards addressing issues people are having with the app, and they do their best to keep everyone informed on what's to come. They make updates and keep the app fresh. You can tell they care about the work they're doing, and I'm happy to be a Pacifica user. Highly recommend you give the app a try if you experience anxiety or depression.

Going to give this a shot because suffer with both disorders. Trying to get healthy and comfortable in my own life, every day stressors and things to do. Have an app productive helps with reminders and keeping me on track have a very busy life. I'm a student getting a bachelors degree in college, mother of 5, and CNA as well then recently remarried today's our 2nd month Anniversary and thinking it's going to get even better every day the new life I'm creating for myself and this family. Think absolutely this app will help me get and keep my life going in a good way. Not mention help me achieve good grades and happiness for myself more in such a fast paced life I'm living in at the moment. Saw this app has a way to Coach me to breath more often like my watch says and the activity app but, also help me break a moment to get or take that breath and exhale it and repeat a few times then back to the races again. I'm going to try the free app first and then, see if I purchase the premium version like I read in the review. Having a chat group and all sorts of other features especially updates and updating app to improve and help the app user fighting depression and anxiety disorders that's amazing and very admirable to help keep up the fight with all of us and helping us possibly find a way to end these fights for each of us who have these disorders.

Hi there, thank you for providing us with all of this feedback! We hope that you really do end up enjoying the Sanvello app and all that it has to offer. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our info@sanvello.com email inbox with any additional questions or comments you may have. Thank you!

Excellent tool to manage mental health

I've been using this app for about a week now. It has several tools for managing mental health- I feel like a lot of mental health is noticing patterns, and this app is really good for that- you can log exercise, meals, family time, and other habits (both good and bad), there is a place to log your mood (which is made of three parts, you describe your mood on a good-to-bad wheel, and then you can optionally both tag words to describe your mood, and write out accompanying thoughts, which is good depending on if you do/don't have much time). I am recommending this to everyone I love who struggles with managing mental health. They have a lot of good, bite-sized meditations too. There's more tools than what I've described (thought exercises) but they are very elegantly laid out so it's not cluttering or overwhelming. A lot of CBT-style thought management, creates some good mental patterns for examining thoughts and not letting them spiral out of control- A very useful tool for someone who struggles with depression and anxiety. I am very grateful to the creators of this app. Cool that you can sync it to your therapist too so they have ability to see how you did over the week (caus it can graph your data over time). Thank you Pacifica.

No additional in-app purchase or subscriptions are required and there are no limits to how many boards or images you can create and share.

Schedule Board
The Schedule Board makes task completion easier and more fun! The schedule is paired with an 'all done' column to check off steps toward a motivating reward. Timers can be added to any task or activity. The schedules are easy to edit and fully customizable. Once you have created a schedule, it will be saved automatically.

Waiting Board
The Waiting Board teaches waiting skills like taking turns and not interrupting. The user can begin by reading the companion book, When Do I Have to Wait? Using the waiting board, the top picture indicates the reason why the child is waiting and a timer can be set to show how long the child will wait. The child can then choose an activity to do while waiting.

Feelings Board
The Feelings Board provides a tool for helping children understand and express emotions. The user can begin by reading the companion book, When I Get Upset, to provide an example of how the child might recognize an emotion and choose a coping strategy. On the Feelings Board, the user can then help the child indicate how they are feeling from a range of options, select a coping strategy, and then request an activity to help them feel better or re-engage with others.

Feelings Scale
Helps users identify, manage and cope with feelings across environments throughout the day. By tracking their feelings on the board, users can analyze the data for trends to learn if tasks done at different times of day or in different environments affect outcome. Environments and schedules can then be altered to achieve better results.

My son has moderate autism. I homeschool him because I don't feel he would thrive in a classroom. We do a lot of life lessons. I have his school day broken into lessons. Each lesson has a few activities, most have photographs I have taken of the actual materials we use and I record my voice to tell him what we are doing. You could even add videos if you use it for things like brushing teeth. He gets a verbal "All Done" and a check mark when he completes each task. It is so easy to customize if we change the tasks from day to day. It is engaging and I don't have to write out a schedule anymore! I love this app!!!

Transformed our children's lives

This app has positively changed the quality of our family time management during school days. We mostly use the schedule boards. The kids each have their own iPad with the app (although there is a feature to have multiple profiles, the timer feature does not work when switching between profiles). They retrieve it in the morning and begin completing their tasks. They are significantly more independent in transitioning from task to task than when they did not have this app. It's a huge relief. I'm actually setting up schedule boards for myself!

Awesome

I use this app for my work in behavioral therapy with children and families. It is an amazing resource and has steadily improved since I first downloaded it. I recommend this for anyone working with children or adults who benefit from its structure and visual nature. I especially would recommend it for parents who want to help their children succeed and feel accomplished in their daily lives.

*** Writing with ease

WordQ for Chrome is an easy-to-use standalone text editor for writing that integrates state-of-the-art word prediction, speech feedback, and Google speech recognition to support writing and editing.

WordQ suggests words to use and provides spoken feedback to help you identify mistakes. Speech recognition enables you to quickly enter individual words, phrases or entire sentences. Users of all ages who struggle with writing and editing can benefit from using WordQ.

WordQ runs offline, with the exception of speech recognition and Drive access. You can open and save documents on your Google Drive (when online) or locally (when offline). The intent is not to replicate all the features of Google Docs, but to offer a much simpler supportive writing space for note-taking, initial drafts and editing with minimal formatting.

*** Advanced word prediction

Predicted words are displayed as you type. Even if you are creative in your spelling, WordQ will still accurately predict. Usage examples are provided to help distinguish close-sounding words (including homonyms). As you move through your text, predictions are shown accurately in-context. It includes a vocabulary of about 5,000 words commonly used by writers at an Elementary school level. The associated background dictionary includes about 40,000 English words, plus common proper names for this country.

*** Hear what you write

WordQ speaks back letters, words, and sentences as you type. Any combination of these may be used. Words from the prediction list are read out loud.

Note: WordQ is specifically not designed as a universal text reader. Text reading is intended to help in the writing and editing process.

*** Speech Recognition

WordQ integrates Google speech recognition with added speech feedback, choice of automatically turning off the microphone "Never", "While editing" or "After speaking", and ability to quickly undo a recognition with the ESC key.

*** Proofreading

One of the most beneficial uses of WordQ is proofreading sentences, which uses both visual and spoken cues to help you find mistakes in word order, word form, missing words, grammar, spelling and punctuation. By listening to the flow of words you can hear whether it makes sense. You can often hear mistakes that you don't see. A special proofreading mode uses the following approach: focus on a sentence; hear your sentence spoken; step through the sentence word-by-word to locate any mistakes (e.g., you may hear two words that sound wrong together, or you may have left out a word out); edit with word prediction support; then listen to your sentence again.

*** Topics

You can emphasize predicted words within a topical area. If you also have thoughtQ for Chrome, you can easily import topic lists automatically created there.

*** Compatibility

Documents are compatible with Google Docs (with some limitations) as text-only. A Google Docs document with notes and references created in thoughtQ for Chrome can be opened in WordQ.

*** Requirements

- Latest release of Google Chrome OS on Chromebooks (or other Chrome packaged App supported environment(s))

*** Privacy

This App uses your email strictly to check for volume and evaluation licensing. Your email is not recorded. This App also accesses your clipboard to allow copy and paste from other applications. Google will ask that you agree to both of these functions, otherwise WordQ will not be enabled. If disabled, re-enable WordQ from Google Chrome Settings.

*** Installation

WordQ for Chrome is an App that installs locally onto a PC, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook with your Gmail account. When you quit WordQ, your current working document will be saved locally and recovered when you re-launch WordQ.

WordQ for Chrome is a Google "Chrome Packaged App", which is a brand new type of technology that runs across different platforms. As new technology by Google (that is, as yet, unfinished), there are limitations associated with security and capabilities not yet implemented or limited by Google. We are implementing what is technically possible.

By Google design, Chrome Packaged Apps are standalone and cannot interact directly with other applications or Chrome extensions/plug-ins. Also, the text-to-speech is limited by Google within a Chrome App, and some capabilities such as synchronized speech and word-by-word highlighting may be not possible with all voices. On a Chromebook, all Google OS voices do offer this feature.

After you download WordQ from the Chrome Store (about 3 - 5 minutes) it will automatically be installed and visible in the Chrome App Launcher.

When you open a Chrome browser on another machine and sign-in using your Gmail account, WordQ will automatically install in the background. Please be patient. This may take several minutes. Once installed, it will always be available. All of your WordQ settings are synchronized across machines as long as your Chrome settings: Advanced Sync Settings include synchronizing of Apps, Extensions, and Settings.

Whenever the developers update WordQ, your version will automatically update in the background.

The Thompson Center offers five FREE online autism training modules to individuals wanting to learn more about autism.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Thompson Center offers five FREE online autism training modules to individuals wanting to learn more about autism. The modules were developed by the Mid-Missouri Rapid Response Initiative, a project funded by the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Developmental Disabilities. The five full-length modules provide information on topics such as autism in young children, the screening and referral process, evidence-based practices and interventions, transition to adulthood, and building the family/professional partnership.

This module is an overview of the characteristics of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and the criteria used to diagnose children with ASD. Family members, childcare providers, school personnel, and others who interact with young children are encouraged to take this training module to learn more about the signs of ASD.

Access the "Understanding Autism in Young Children" module here.

This module focuses on screening for ASD. It also describes the next steps if referral for further evaluation is needed. Health care providers, childcare providers, school personnel, family members, and others who interact with young children are encouraged to take this training module to learn more about this process.

Access the "Screening and Referral" module here.

This module explores the importance of using evidence-based interventions when working with children and youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The module provides an overview of 11 interventions that have the strongest research evidence for their effectiveness. It also discusses factors to consider when choosing interventions for individual children. School personnel, care providers, and family members will learn of additional resources that can enhance their ability to select and provide high quality interventions for children and youth with ASD.

Access the "Evidence-Based Practice and Interventions" module here.

As individuals with ASD leave the high school setting, they need to be prepared for the next stage of life experiences and becoming an adult. Families often ask where, how and when do I start this process? This training module is an overview of what both families and educators can do to support the process for transition from adolescence to becoming an adult and why employment is essential.

Access the "Transition to Adulthood" module here.

We know that having a successful support system and team can have a large impact on the life of an individual with autism, so this module focuses on how to effectively build and maintain family and professional partnerships. Throughout the course of this training you will hear from the perspectives of several parents who will share their experiences in building professional partnerships to address the needs of their children and family, as well as from several professionals as they share recommendations on how to effectively team with families to best serve the individuals that they are working with.

Access the "Family-Professional Partnerships" module here.

In every corner of the earth, Special Olympics is changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. These stories come from all around the world

50 Game Changers ESPN and Special Olympics have teamed up on a year-long storytelling initiative telling the stories of game changers and game changing moments toward inclusion. Check back each week for a new story of inclusion.

Stories of Inclusion Special Olympics and over 5 Million of our athletes are leading the charge for full inclusion of people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). The movement is rooted in the spirit of our founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who took a rebellious stand against the injustices faced by people with Intellectual Disabilities in 1968. Today, the fight for inclusion is more relevant than ever. People of all ages, races, genders, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities continue to face discrimination, ignorance, and disparagement. Just as Eunice Kennedy Shriver did 50 years ago, Special Olympics is setting a stake in the ground to create change and, this time, our athletes are leading the way.
