As a recreational therapy major at Indiana University, Jacklyn Moleski was looking for a place to practice what she was learning in the classroom. She knew that play is paramount for early childhood development and inclusive play allow children with and without disabilities to interact and learn from each other. Her involvement as a volunteer at Kids Play Gym in Bloomington has was just what she was looking for. She is able to interact with children of all abilities and learn new techniques of interaction and behavior management in this inclusive play space – actually practicing what she is learning at school. Seeing the kids progress is great motivation for her as they grow and learn together. Jacklyn’s volunteer experience at Kids Play Gym has convinced her that she is in the right major and is looking forward to her career ahead.
