Fun4All

Our education program, Together, We Are Able, was brought into a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fun4All program brought together students with and without disabilities for social inclusion, play, connectivity and fun. LAUSD’s Division of Special Education has been a powerful partner. We engaged children of all abilities in PLAY through stories, music, movement, and crafts via Zoom and YouTube. To learn more about this program, please contact marnie@inclusionmatters.org.
