Navigating Special Education with Latino Families
Friday February 7, 2025 7:00am - 8:00am EST

This session is designed to equip early education professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively support Latino families as they access service for their child, including Baby Net and Child Find. By focusing on culturally responsive practices and practical strategies, participants will learn how to bridge gaps and develop collaborative relationships with families to ensure young children receive the support they need.

Identifying and Supporting Homeless Children
Friday February 7, 2025 11:50am - 12:50pm EST
Rm. 203
Early childhood programs can lessen the impact of housing instability on child development and connect families to critical supports.  Yet only 12% of infants and toddlers experiencing homeless in South Carolina are enrolled in a program, leaving 88% of young children unserved. Federal laws like the McKinney-Vento Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provide protections and resources to ensure families of young children experiencing homelessness can access early childhood programs.  Join us for a session that will cover practical strategies, resource navigation, and inclusive practices to equip early childhood professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively support families.
