All TAP’s workshops include anti-bullying techniques & tools to help students deal with difficult situations with or without a disability. Other topics that talk about inclusion with a specific medical condition or disability are: epilepsy (seizure first aid), spina bifida, hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy (all celebrating differences) & autism spectrum disorder (helping to remove barriers).
Our goal for each workshop is to educate, build awareness and acceptance to create kinder, more inclusive school communities. Topics are presented in accordance with the Ontario curriculum, character development traits & character virtues, all through inquiry based learning.
Here is an example of our Anti- Bullying Workshop and it's learning objectives.
