Circle Of Friends ~ The Path To Inclusion

Description

• A social inclusion program for all grade levels, Circle of Friends (CoF) builds genuine friendships between students with and without disabilities, increasing the understanding and acceptance of differences while decreasing bullying. CoF ensures that schools are safer, more welcoming, and conducive to education and positive personal growth.Barbara Palilis, a Speech Language Pathologist who worked with school districts for 25 years, founded Circle of Friends in 1999 at Santa Monica High School in CA. The program was created to build circles of non-disabled peers around a young man with Down syndrome who Barbara observed eating lunch alone everyday. CoF was a great success, and that same young man soon became integrated into the fabric of his school campus.In 2005, Circle of Friends became an official non-profit organization with the aim of bringing this effective model of inclusion to more schools across the country. To date, Circle of Friends has launched over 200 chapters nationwide!For more information, visit CircleoFriends.org or call the office at (310) 312-6600. Circle of Friends is based in Los Angeles, CA.
