diagnoses, talks about therapy options and is interactive. A question can

Guidelines to Support the Early Intervention Process
The Inclusion Committee of the Pittsburgh Allegheny County Local Interagency Coordinating Council is a group of parents and diverse early childhood professionals who are committed to the belief that all young children, including those with disabilities, can successfully participate in their communities. With this belief in focus, the emphasis of the Inclusion Committee's work over the past 10 years has been supporting successful inclusion of young children with disabilities in typical early care and education settings. On a recurring basis, the committee will share additional resources as links on the PAEYC website. click here for "Guidelines to Support the Early Intervention Process" resources.
