On Wednesday, March 7th, Joyce Preschool hosted the PACER Center for their inclusive puppet show, “Count Me In.” The presentation taught students about children with different disabilities, maintaining a positive, inclusive message about all the things that children who are blind, deaf, or have limited mobility can do, and how to include them in play. In this video, Joyce Preschool students use sign language and sing the “Count Me In” song: “Maybe we don’t all walk the same, and maybe we don’t all talk the same, but all people want to say, ‘count me in!’”

Elliot really enjoyed the puppet show — he was excited to tell me that night that “kids who are blind or deaf or in a wheelchair can still do LOTS of things!”
