The Inclusion in Child Care Project by the Center for Inclusive Child Care: An Evaluation Report

The Center for Inclusive Child Care was funded by the Minnesota Department of Education to increase access to high quality information and trainings on best practices in the inclusion of children with disabilities. Right now in Minnesota, this need is especially great in the more remote areas of the state and with families and early care and education professionals who have a linguistic barrier that prevents them from accessing the necessary training and services. Already posed to provide high quality trainings through a Train the Trainer model, the Center for Inclusive Child Care (CICC) focused on improving the delivery system for their services and developing innovative techniques for reaching these audiences.
