An enormous challenge to providing quality services for young children (0-5) in inclusive community settings (natural environments) is how to meet increasing demands for well-trained personnel to provide those services. Natural Allies aims to offer insight and direction on this challenge.
|
Natural Allies is striving to address these needs by developing, implementing, evaluating and disseminating a model that will yield change and improvement in community college coursework and practical experiences related to serving young children with disabilities in inclusive natural environments. This project is based on a proven systems change model that has produced documented, long lasting and meaningful changes in preservice personnel preparation at individual, program and state levels. Values of the project include building on existing resources and expertise, campus-community collaboration among early childhood and early intervention partners and team-based, ecological approaches that include the participation of family, campus, community and state agency partners in personnel development efforts.
