Haring Center for Inclusive Education

At the Haring Center, we have all kinds of students - EEU students, UW undergraduates, and practicum students like Ashley! We love having Ashley, and all our UW and Practicum students, on our CFS and classroom teams to learn, practice and carry forward inclusive education.

Meet Ashley Ya-Hsuan Huang, a graduate student in the on-campus Applied Behavior Analysis program!

In the program, Ashley has found a supportive community of peers and professors, hands-on experience at the Haring Center, and opportunities to build both research and real-world skills.

We’re proud to spotlight students like Ashley who are making an impact in ABA and beyond 💜

INCLUSION MODULE OF THE WEEK! Fostering Membership & Belonging.
In truly inclusive programs, every member should feel a sense of belonging. But this doesn't always happen without intentional planning and reflection -- check out this module for some practical ideas as you prepare your summer program! Reminder that we have differentiated modules for early learning, elementary, and secondary ages groups! Modules are available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin.

Kickin' it with NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! We love when come to play! Today players brought their trophy to the EEU! Curious students asked questions, shared about their love of soccer and got to kick around with the team. Thank you for playing with us and congratulations! You are always Champions at the EEU!

Get to know our EEU classrooms! This month's classroom is the Tigers with Teacher Nikki! 🐯 🧡 👶

Blocks, balls and babies are all the rage in the Tigers class!

Snacks are plentiful but strollers are in high demand as the youngest EEU kiddos work on playing with each other and their caregivers. It’s an excellent opportunity to reinforce sharing and waiting your turn. It’s a very busy scene in room 123. The Tigers are very engaged in dramatic play, using the kitchen sets to cook and talk about their favorite meals from home and food that is made by our fantastic kitchen.
You can often find children following caregivers to an activity and just minutes later those roles are reversed!
