Inclusive Child Care Resources Search Now Available on Disability Compass
Are you a child care professional or a parent looking for inclusive child care? The new Inclusive Child Care Resources search will help you locate local resources that provide and develop inclusive child care programs that bring together children with and without disabilities.
Professional child care providers can use this guided search feature to find organizations that offer training and mentoring programs, adaptive equipment and toys, and financial assistance for adapting their facilities to meet the needs of children with disabilities. Parents will find organizations that can help them find inclusive child care programs, support groups, parent education classes, printed materials, and website resources. The Inclusive Child Care Resources search feature is the result of a collaboration between Disability Compass and our partner, the Inclusive Child Care Program of the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities. To use this new feature, click the Search for Inclusive Child Care Resources link on the left.
