Training Modules

All of our trainings and resources proceed through the following steps:
Module One
Introduction to TRACKS – provides an overview of what TRACKS is, who TRACKS is for, when and where TRACKS should be used, why TRACKS benefits all campers. 

Module Two
Awareness – diversity training to teach the children about different challenges individuals with disabilities or social challenges may encounter on a daily basis.  This demonstrates to peers how individuals with disabilties are able to do the same things, but focus on overcoming the challenges.

Module Three
Teaching TRACKS – providing children with the skills to interact with one another effectively, and how to include everyone. 

Module Four
Prompting through Peers – using a peer-mediated approach, adult leaders encourage peer-to-peer interactions by prompting through peers, rather than always directly assisting children with disabilities and other social challenges.

Module Five
Reward System – using a group reinforcement system to increase the likelihood of positive peer-interactions occurring in the future.
