Hosted by Region VII Head Start T/TA, The Head Start National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning presents

Disabilities Institute

A coordinated approach to disability services is essential for ensuring the full and active participation of children with disabilities and their families in all aspects of Head Start programs. This institute will:

• explore strategies for establishing and maintaining partnership agreements that foster productive,
collaborative relationships,

• discuss how multidisciplinary teams can engage in an ongoing decision-making process to select,
implement and evaluate individualized practices tailored to a child’s unique learning needs, forming the
foundation of an effective coordinated approach.
