3.3 Special Needs Services

Additional Support for Families

Our Inclusion Coordinators provide assistance to parents and providers to include children with disabilities into typical child care settings.

We can help parents and child care providers of children with special needs in a number of ways:

  • Free training, for individuals or groups
  • And additional resources, including information on disability laws and adaptations for children with special needs

This no-cost service also provides parents with information on the disability laws and adaptations for children with special needs.

Parents and caregivers of children with special needs should understand that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits child care programs from discriminating against children, employees, or parents based on a disability.

The ADA requires that child care providers make reasonable accommodations to enroll children with disabilities. Only programs operated by religious organizations are exempt from ADA regulations.

needs or contact your local coordinator

Georgia has long endured the poor educational achievements that result from a failure to invest in high-quality early care and education for children. The economy is taking its toll on a child care system that needs to be thoroughly revamped for the sake of children, families and even the state’s economic future.
