Looking for Teachers to Support Students with Disabilities!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Best Buddies Maryland

Best Buddies Maryland is looking for elementary through high school teachers to help foster inclusion and friendship between students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Best Buddies chapters in schools match students into "buddy" pairs that can provide friendship and support to each other both in one-to-one communication and in the group setting. If you are interested in bringing this to your school or learning more about the program and what Best Buddies can provide, please visit www.bestbuddies.org/maryland/friendship and email julesgellert@bestbuddies.org to get started!
