ChildCare Education Institute® (CCEI), an online child care
training provider dedicated exclusively to the early care and
education workforce, offers
SPN105: Meeting the
Requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as a
no-cost trial course to new CCEI users July 1-31, 2024.
Effective early childhood providers make adaptations throughout
the day to create inclusive programs. It is a natural practice to
make changes to the materials, environment, or expectations to
match the individual needs of the children in the classroom.
Children’s needs and abilities are quite varied, whether children
with diagnosed disabilities are present or not.
Child care professionals work with children and families with
varying needs and abilities. It is important that providers
understand their ethical and legal responsibility to every child
regardless of abilities. The purpose of this training is to provide
child care professionals with a clear understanding of the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The
course also provides an overview of what inclusion means and what
it looks like in an early care environment.
In inclusive programs, providers consider each child as
essential to the classroom community. Providers take the
responsibility for ensuring each child can participate in the daily
routine, planned activities, and special events. Each family member
feels welcomed and respected. Each child knows they are a valued
member of the community.
“As child care providers work to include children with various
needs into programs, they need to be familiar with the legal
requirements in providing all children with an equal opportunity to
access, participation, and support,” says Dr. Chrystine Mitchell,
Director, Early Childhood Education Operations. “This course
will provide tangible strategies that will support their efforts to
include children with disabilities into their programs.”
SPN105: Meeting the Requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act is a two-hour, beginner-level course
and grants 0.2 IACET CEU upon successful completion. Current
CCEI users with active, unlimited annual subscriptions can register
for professional development courses at no additional cost when
logged in to their CCEI account. Users without subscriptions can
purchase child care training courses as block hours through CCEI
online enrollment.
