The project aims to contribute to the participation of children with disabilities in social life through quality inclusive education in early childhood, and to facilitate their access to economic and social life in the long term. The project aims to reach children with disabilities and their families, as well as children with typical development and their families. In this way, awareness will be raised about the acceptance of individuals with disabilities in the society and it will be ensured that the problems faced by disabled individuals are overcome together. The project will last 36 months; It is implemented in a total of 90 pilot schools in the provinces of Antalya, Bursa, Konya, İzmir, Gaziantep and Samsun.
In order to improve the cognitive, emotional and social development of all children within the scope of inclusive education, the current situation analysis has been prepared by scanning the national and international literature on inclusive education in early childhood for children with disabilities. In this context, Children's Activity Book sets, Teacher Activity Handbook and Story Book (38 pieces) sets were developed for each of the 3-4 year old, 5-6 year old and 6-7 age groups, and distributed to 32,000 students in total studying at pilot schools. Audio descriptions of all the story books were made and presented to the service of our students.
The awareness of families of children with disabilities (3-7 years old) on inclusive education rights, opportunities and the importance of school-family cooperation has been increased. Within the scope of this target; A total of 12 awareness-raising seminars were held in 6 pilot provinces in order to raise awareness and raise awareness of families and society on the rights of children with disabilities, reaching approximately 16,000 parents.
It is aimed to increase the awareness of decision-makers, families of non-disabled children about the right of disabled children to receive quality inclusive education and to provide their support in this regard. In this context, a “Community Intervention Guide” which defines the interventions was prepared in order to eliminate the psychological or social exclusion that children with disabilities are exposed to and to inform families, caregivers and society about the rights of children with disabilities in general. Within the scope of awareness-raising activities, "Children's Festivals" where these games are played were organized in each pilot province by developing games that children with disabilities and their typically developing peers can play together.
It is aimed to equip teachers with knowledge and skills so that they can provide quality inclusive education for all children (3-7 years old). In this context; Inclusive education in early childhood "teacher training module" was developed and prepared in a format that can be downloaded to EBA. 142 teachers were trained to become "educator trainers" and 1250 teachers were reached through these teachers. In addition, information seminars were organized for pilot provincial administrators and school administrators. During the project, "children's portfolios" and "teacher portfolios" were developed in order to follow the development of teachers and children. After the project pilot implementation period, these portfolios will be analyzed and a comprehensive development report will be prepared.
Within the scope of the project visibility activities, a total of 6 short films were shot, one in each province, and a public spot was shot. In addition, posters and brochures on inclusive education were prepared and distributed to pilot provinces. The project implementation process will end in December 2020.
