National Inclusion Project, Inc - Help kids with disabilities experience life with their peers.

Overview

The National Inclusion Project gives children with disabilities the opportunity to experience all life has to offer.  Through Let's ALL Play children with disabilities have the same experiences as those without by participating together in recreational activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, community service, physical fitness and more. Children of all abilities participating in Let's ALL Play have seen dramatic development in motor skills as well as improvement in social skills, self-esteem, compassion, and understanding.

The Project will bring Let's ALL Play to community programs nationwide by providing training on best practice inclusion techniques and scholarships so that no child is left on the sidelines.  This training will expand the capacity of programs to offer inclusive experiences for generations to come.

A mother said, "At camp, my son does not have Down Syndrome, wear hearing aids, or have difficulty with his speech.  He is simply a camper."
