Include Me: Bringing Early Education to Children with Disabilities
Overview
Include Me is an initiative working to increase the capacity of child
care centers in the greater Richmond area to provide quality inclusive
early childhood education for children with disabilities. Through this
project center teachers will receive interventions in the form of trainings
and consultation services throughout the year. The aim of the trainings
and consultation services is to increase their skill and comfort level
in providing community-based, inclusive care to young children.
Include Me is funded by seed money from the Jackson Foundation with
support from the Partnership for People with Disabilities's Resource
Development Board.
Major Activities
- Conduct training and consultation for two classrooms in each of
5 centers on quality inclusive child care strategies
- Evaluate project model through pre and post assessments for teacher
attitude, interaction and classroom environment
