Unicorn Children's Foundation presents the Creating Compassionate Children™ campaign and toolkit. This character development program promotes a positive culture of understanding, acceptance, inclusion, and respect towards differences in other students learning comprehension, including children with special needs, and accepting them into their social environment. Unicorn Children's Foundation wants
young children to contribute to the elimination of bullying and build a world where their peers can be fully engaged in the classroom and in society, no matter the neurological differences they have. The introduction of the Creating Compassionate Children toolkits are pre-assembled by individuals with special needs for preschool and elementary age classrooms to help create a kinder classroom. Each toolkit consists of a:
• Teacher's Guide to using the Creating Compassionate Children Curriculum
• Get Caught Being Kind™ Cards
• Get Caught Being Kind™ Poster
• Brain Break Cards©
• Sensory/Fidget Toys
• Promise Ribbon
• Exceptionally Good Friends: Building Relationships with Autism book
"Children with special needs are an easy target for bullies because of their desire to fit in and make friends coupled by their challenges in understanding social cues,” said Sharon Alexander, Executive Director of the Unicorn Children’s Foundation. “More and more doors to inclusive opportunities are opening for individuals with special needs, but these very doors may also make them more vulnerable to bullying by their peers. Your gift will ensure that when these doors open they will reveal supportive peers."
