1. For 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, and anyone who works with children, is this workshop for you?

3. For 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭, is there only one flat rate for all international participants, including those from NGOs who would like to benefit from the NGO rate?

The answers are YES.

"𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧." Inspired by one of the key message from the 10th NECIC, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to interpret those behavior, uncover what lies beneath it, and respond more effectively.

The 10th National Early Childhood Intervention Conference (NECIC) was a meaningful reminder that true inclusion goes beyond placement—it is about access, participation, support and ultimately, belonging. I was especially inspired by the principles of Universal Design and Universal Design for Learning, reminding us to design environments where everyone can participate from the very beginning. To feel BELONG.

Another key takeaway was “Behaviour is information.” It encouraged us to pause, stay curious and look beyond the behaviour to understand what a child may be communicating. There is still much to be done, but we left NECIC hopeful—believing that inclusion changes and benefit everyone, and change can start small, but deliberately.

Let's all collaborate, link, connect, and work together towards INCLUSION.

🕵️‍♀️ What if behaviour is giving us clues?

Sharing a short clip from Kim Barthel on one small part of becoming a “behavioural detective.”

Instead of simply asking, “Why is this person behaving this way?” — what if we became curious about what the behaviour might be telling us?

Sometimes, behaviour is a clue to an unmet need, an underlying challenge, or something happening beneath the surface.

A small but powerful reminder to look beyond the behaviour and become curious about the story behind it. 💭

🎥 Watch this short clip and see what stands out to you.
