Welcome to the KIT Academy eStore!

We all want to create welcoming environments where disabilities are viewed as a natural part of life. When your program says that it is “for all,” what does that mean and what does it look like? To create welcoming programs, we first need to assess what respect for disabilities looks like. We can then explore ways that we can teach children and youth in our programs to respect disability as a form of diversity. In this webinar, we will look at how we can use language and our interactions to model respect, and how we can use targeted activities to build a community that respects disabilities.

Did you know the #1 topic KIT makes recommendations about is self-regulation? We often talk about self-regulation and coping skills interchangeably, but are they? And why is it that so many of the children and youth you serve seem to need help with self-regulation? Join us to learn what self-regulation is and how you can contribute to supporting self-regulation in your classroom or program. Note: this course is an overview for all ages. Additional topics will be available in the coming months for age-specific self-regulation practices. Please note that in order to receive a certificate, you will need to watch the videos and view the resources, engage with the materials (click), pass the quiz, and complete the survey. Read more

This webinar will describe how brain responses and concerning behavior are linked to self-regulation and provide strategies staff can use to refuel children’s regulation tanks and improve self-regulation skills.
