Kids Included Together

Kids Included Together KIT strives to help the world see the ability in every child. By creating inclusive environments where no child is excluded, everyone benefits.

We equip child care professionals with the tools, support, and confidence to welcome children with disabilities and respond to behavioral needs with compassion. Our organization helps others meaningfully include kids with and without disabilities through inclusion training, policy development and sharing our best practices information and research.

Inclusion doesn’t happen in one place. It takes systems that support it.

Since 1997, Kids Included Together has worked with programs across the country and beyond to build environments where all children can participate.

Reaching:
• Over 200,000 child and youth professionals
• 700+ organizations
• 50 states and 15 countries

Because inclusion at scale requires more than intention. It requires support that shows up in how programs actually operate.

There’s a girl in your program who never causes problems. She has friends. She follows directions. She loves horses. She seems engaged when you talk to her.

Her parent tells you that everyday after pickup, she comes home completely drained. Sometimes she cries for an hour. Other days, she shuts herself in her room and doesn’t want to talk to anyone.

Would autism be on your radar?

That’s exactly why many autistic girls go unrecognized.

See the myths that keep girls like her from getting support. Read more on the blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04q61k30

Professional development matters. But there is an important distinction between building individual skills and building program-wide inclusion. When only one staff member attends a training, the learning stays with that person.

Expectations can vary across classrooms or sites. New staff may not have access to the same knowledge. Over time, practices become inconsistent or disappear altogether.

Program-wide inclusion looks different. It means creating shared expectations, common language, and consistent practices across the whole team, so that support for children does not depend on who happens to be working that day. Our latest blog explores how programs can move from one-time training to lasting, team-wide practice. Read it here: https://hubs.ly/Q04mlGf_0

As the weather warms up, many programs naturally move more activities outdoors. Children may begin arriving directly to the playground instead of the classroom. They spend more time in open-ended play spaces and may transition more frequently between indoor and outdoor environments.

While these changes often feel exciting, they can also create new challenges for supporting children during outdoor time, as children often rely on predictability and clear structure to feel successful. Learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q04h5_Qm0

In the fast-paced world of before and after-school programming, it’s easy to react to unwanted behaviors like yelling, hitting, or refusals. But what if every crossed arm, outburst, or "no" was just a child sending a message they don't have the words for?

Using the ABCs of Behavior, we can determine what a child's behavior is communicating. Learn how to move beyond frustration and toward effective support in our latest Train-Your-Team course, Ready, Set, Support: Before & After School: https://hubs.ly/Q04fHy1g0

Transform challenging behaviors into opportunities for connection and teaching, and make your program run smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.

The day doesn’t end for everyone when the last school bell rings. It shifts.

Between 3:00 and 6:00 PM, after-school programs step in to support millions of children. These hours can quickly become the most challenging part of the day without strong leadership and effective after-school program staff training guiding the environment, expectations, and staff.

That’s where leadership matters most.

Strong leaders don’t just respond to challenges, they prepare for them.

In our latest blog, we explore the “3–6 PM challenge” and what it takes to lead through it.
