Our goal is to provide training to anyone who is or may be involved with children who have special needs. Clients we serve include childcare providers, family childcare providers, preschool teachers, Moms’ Morning Out teachers, and anyone working within an inclusive childcare setting. We offer free training covering topics such as inclusion and strategies for identifying children who may be at-risk for developmental delays in the areas of cognition, speech/language, self-help, motor and social/emotional areas. The CCEP program can make funding available to help the facility with the hiring of substitutes, so that staff can attend. Training Clock Hours and CEU's are available. United Cerebral Palsy's CCEP team provides on-site consultation and technical assistance, and they will supply educational kits to promote inclusion.

Why should you take this training?

• To become aware of the benefits of including children with special needs
• To enhance the skills of childcare teachers and other professionals
• To become more knowledgeable about developmentally appropriate practices presented by experienced childhood teachers and therapists
• To be able to identify possible areas of concern in a child’s development
• To learn how to find and utilize resources in your area

We can either provide training at your site, or our CCEP training team can help you locate a suitable facility to meet your needs.
