My son is 18 years old and has been attending Inclusive World (IW) classes, job opportunities, and other IW events for many years now. The kind of experience he gets at IW is unique and, true to its name, fully inclusive. The attention to detail and organized curriculum that IW puts together makes every moment spent in the class thoroughly enjoyable. The teachers are incredibly kind and encouraging, which builds confidence and a “can do” attitude in the students. I cannot praise the volunteers enough. The young and energetic volunteers show acceptance as well as belief in the student’s abilities and this is a testament to the training that IW has provided to them. What makes IW extraordinary is the Person Centered Thinking concept that is worked into every interaction. By knowing each student’s needs personally, teachers and volunteers are able to tailor the classwork to match the interests of the student and motivate the students. My son always looks forward to the IW events and to interacting with the teachers and peer volunteers. He has become more confident, creative, relaxed, and social because of the opportunities provided at IW. IW events such as the year-end parties are a blast and give students the opportunity to simply have fun in a safe environment. We are incredibly thankful to IW organizers and volunteers!
