ASaP (Access, Support and Participation) was created in 2012 in response to The State of Inclusive Childcare in Alberta, a research study from Dr. Lesley Wiart and her colleagues, uncovered the challenges experienced by licensed childcare centres, and the limited resources available to support the inclusion of all children.
In response to these findings, GRIT adopted and enhanced the Pyramid Model in 2012 to create ASaP (Access, Support and Participation).
