Colin and Derek of Inclusive Solutions began training a team of educational psychologists at a venue in Romsey, Hampshire – the messages of hope and images of inclusive practice and great psychology were all well received!
Wonderful group of passionate educators. The group really appreciated our range of teaching styles. There was even a Sarajevo TV film crew recording us for live TV.
We have received excellent written feedback from participants. They filled in “short survey” which included their perception about the implementation of the training. They liked the most group activities, interaction, videos and practical examples. Colin and Julia were scored as excellent (5+) trainers! Some comments: “Everything was perfect, interesting, useful, interactive…..,” “Everything was important to me, it was a therapy, fuel for further actions”, “In this world of distrust, you “made ghosts walk”- you performed the impossible!
Colin & Derek will be presenting at Partners in Policymaking: A Leadership Development Programme for Parents of disabled children and disabled adults.

This was our holiday: I wanted to feel free and happy.
Josephine Feeney has written the following about her son Finn and about how an Inclusive Solutions conference made the scales disappear from her eyes…
