Week 1 – June 4th, 2024 Theme: Policy Statement on Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in Early Childhood Programs

Do you struggle to include Part C in your work? In 2015, the US Departments of Education and Health and Human Services released a joint policy statement about inclusion of children with disabilities in Early Intervention programs. It was updated and reaffirmed in 2023, and now includes a section about partnering to build a nationwide culture of inclusion.
