This summer, UBC Faculty of Education is very pleased to offer the Supporting Aboriginal Families of Young Children with Disabilities – Respect, Healing, Dignity and Care summer institute, taught by Diana Elliott 

I am writing to ask if you could you please share this summer learning opportunity with faculty, staff and students of the Faculty of Land and Food Systems who may be interested in attending. 

I¹ve included a brief promotional piece below my signature, or you may wish to share the PDF poster. 

Kind regards,
Heather

SUPPORTING ABORIGINAL FAMILIES OF YOUNG CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES: Respect, Healing, Dignity and Care.

 EDCP 480A 96A | or non credit registration

July 8 – 15 

The 2017 IECER Summer Institute will bring together ECED students, ECE & IDSC professionals, and others interested in early childhood and infant development, to explore the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Recommendations as Canada begins to celebrate 150 Years. 

This institute will have Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal professionals come together, discuss their work in relation to Aboriginal families, and how the TRC recommendations will enrich work practices and policies. There will be a particular focus on Aboriginal children with special needs and Aboriginal children in the child welfare system.
