to start their day is truly magical.
This is why we do what we do at Intention Forward Education Foundation - creating spaces where every child can thrive, feel happy, and just be themselves.

#FallFun#SPED
It's been awhile, allow us to reintroduce ourselves! Weโre Intention Forward Education Foundation, a nonprofit born from the vision of Greater Kansas City community members who wanted to create spaces filled with belonging, fun, and friendship for kids with special needs.
Intention Forward is on a mission to make spaces where every child feels seen, valued, and celebrated. Join us in making a difference! Together, we can continue expanding opportunities for kids with special needs to thrive.
๐ This Halloween, we're celebrating the unique spirit of every child in our IF family.
Because when it comes to joy, costumes, and candy, every child deserves their chance to shine!
Join us in spreading smiles this spooky season.
#HappyHalloween#InclusionMatters
Remember that not all kids celebrate Halloween, so offering a variety of fall activities is a great way to include everyone. Here's some ideas:
* Decorating candied apples
* Leaf painting
* Fall collage using colored tissue paper
* Oreo pudding cups with gummy worms
#KansasCity
๐Letโs make Halloween more inclusive for all kids, especially those with special needs! Some of us have kids that want to celebrate, but might not be prepared for the extra interaction and may need guidance on what to expect.
