Applying Indicators and Theory to the Delivery of Early Care and Education Supports for Black Families with Infants and Toddlers A resource from Child Trends and the UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute that draws on families’ cultural assets and uses a strengths-based perspective. For example, living in crowded housing is usually assumed to negatively impact children’s health, but the authors of the resource discuss how choosing to live with others, such as extended family members, during a child’s early years might support parents’ and children’s mental health and well-being.

Association of University Centers on Disabilities Through its members, The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a resource for local, state, national, and international agencies, organizations, and policy makers concerned about people living with developmental and other disabilities and their families. All of our member programs have unique strengths that they share with each other and the greater disability community. Some of our members are exemplary educators. They train professional leaders, individuals with disabilities, and family members in areas such as early care and education, primary health care, special education, and innovative housing and employment programs. Other members excel in basic and applied research, model demonstration programs, systemic reform, and policy analysis. Because these programs work collaboratively, innovations from one program can be rapidly implemented in communities throughout the country, thus affecting more lives than any one program could touch. By working together, programs engage in significant research that informs national policy and best practices. The network emphasizes national and international implementation of innovations in disability-related education, health care, and supports and services. It offers leadership on major social problems affecting all people with disabilities or special health needs. Website
