11/15/2018 – The return of Julie Causton!

Back by popular demand, Julie Causton returns to WNY.  Focused on pre-school to high school educators, Julie will talk about The Wildly Engaged Inclusive Classroom. The conference will be held at The Grapevine on November 15th from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm. Those who attended The Inclusion Session last year will remember Julie’s engaging, funny, and incredibly informative presentation style.  We are thrilled to support the Parent Network of Western New York and the Early Childhood Direction Center in the drive to make inclusive education a reality for everyone in WNY!
