Serving Children with Disabilities Part 1

All children deserve the opportunity to participate in family child care. Yet providers are faced with special considerations and challenges, depending upon the needs of each child. This advanced session allows an opportunity to discuss how providers can include children with special needs in their program. As a result of this class, providers will learn the “keys” to giving a child the best start possible, regardless of the child’s abilities. Topics include: reasons for concern of developmental risks and delays, how families deal with grief and loss, helping families link to appropriate services, creating an atmosphere of acceptance in your program.
