With an eye toward an inclusive school community, Special Needs students are frequently integrated into "typical" classrooms - along with typical children who naturally, have many questions. The I Care program was created in order to help answer some of these questions - often before they are ever asked.

"I Care" or Introducing Children to Acceptance through Reading and Education is one such program that works proactively within the Mansfield school system to help explain why some classmates might be different than others. Our program has been very well received by both students and faculty alike and is gaining tremendous momentum. For more information on how to become an "I Care" reading volunteer, please click here.
