Include Me Connection Club Presents: Camp IMCC 2066

 

Dates for Camp: Tuesdays 5:30-6:30PM every week from June 23 – July 28

Include Me Connection Club is a virtual club that offers creative opportunities for students to connect through games, activities, and student-driven discussions. All club meetings are facilitated by our engaging and energetic staff.

Your student is welcome here! Themes and topics change monthly and are curated to meet kids where they are. Students can participate and communicate in the ways that work best for them.

We also offer IMCC facilitation supports for our Include Me school districts. If you or your teaching team is interested in teaming up to offer inclusive clubs at your school, please contact Nick Webster.

IMCC Agreement

 

Activities will include accessible games and art-making activities.
Participant (Family) agrees to attend all scheduled sessions and will notify facilitators prior to session if unable to attend.

During the series, photographs, videos, or audio recordings may be taken for promotional purposes. These photographs, videos or audio recordings help us gather data on evidence based practices, improve our overall program, and receive funding so that we are able to continue providing free and accessible programming to families across Pennsylvania.

To continue to provide these sessions at no cost to families, it is most important that we collect honest feedback about our programs. We will email a survey to families with questions that will help us understand what impact being a part of IMCC might have had for participants towards the end of each series. This is paramount to improving our services and providing more opportunities in the future, and your voice is vital. Thanks in advance for committing to share that feedback!

NEW Module Just Arrived - Trauma-Informed Care. Visit our E-Learning Module Series. This series provides information and strategies for teachers, families, and paras to support the education of all students.

The Arc of Pennsylvania’s Making Employment Work course is an ACRE Basic Certification Training. In order to receive certification, participants must attend a 3 day, in-person training and then complete a self-paced, online curriculum. Completing this certification course will qualify individuals to provide Supported Employment services with Pennsylvania’s Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and Office of Developmental Programs. Our training combines lessons learned from traditional Supported Employment and Customized Employment techniques.

Arc Discovery Employment Transitions (ADEPT) is The Arc of Pennsylvania’s customized employment program. The Arc of Pennsylvania supports individuals with significant impact of disability to seek and maintain customized employment in their community. As a result, The Arc of Pennsylvania’s consultants are trained and nationally certified by Marc Gold & Associates, a national leader in customized employment, to provide Discovery, Customized Employment Job Development, and Systematic Instruction to individuals with disabilities in Pennsylvania who are seeking employment. In addition to providing customized employment services, The Arc of Pennsylvania hosts several certification courses with Marc Gold & Associates for individuals and organizations interested in national certification in Discovery, Job Development, and Systematic Instruction.

Include Me is a new model for inclusive education and gaining meaningful employment for Pennsylvania’s students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Arc of Pennsylvania and Include Me believe all individuals with significant impact of developmental and intellectual disability deserve equal educational and competitive employment rights. Our mission, build and strengthen the inclusive education capacity for all public-school students, and discover meaningful employment opportunities meeting Pennsylvania employee and employer needs. Include Me strives to ensure all impacted students have equal access to all aspects of life and the community throughout their lifespan.

Include Me is an initiative that was part of the agreement on final terms between the plaintiffs and the Pennsylvania Department of Education in the Gaskin Settlement Agreement. We were initially assigned to work with school districts with the lowest inclusion rates. After the initial success, we have grown in reputation among school districts. Currently districts voluntarily chose our services, which are provided free of charge to the district. In addition to our School Age services, we offer transition-age services to help teams plan a path to customized employment for students transitioning from high school.
