August
17th, 2010 » ADA & After School and Daycare Programs for
children with disabilities
Parents of
children with disabilities are often faced with
limited choices when it comes to locating
appropriate after school and daycare programs to
meet the needs of their children. Many daycare
and after school providers are reticent about
accepting children with disabilities into their
programs based on the fear that they are not
able to provide the child with the services that
they need, they don't have the "specialized "
staff that may be needed, unfounded fear that
the cost of serving a child with a disability is
too great or a general bias against serving
individuals with disabilities. Join our speakers
as they discuss best practices in day care and
after school programs for serving children with
disabilities and resources that are available to
assist providers and parents.
Speaker:
Dr. Ruth A. Wolery, Director, Susan Gray
School Assistant Professor of the Practice
of Special Education Vanderbilt University
