Center for promoting language and literacy readiness in early childhood

This is a current project.

Description

This project is providing staff development and technical assistance to early childhood programs in Kansas City, Olathe and Topeka, Kan., and North Kansas City, Mo. One of only three such model demonstration projects in the country, the Center is collaborating with practitioners in home-based and early childhood education and preschool settings on the use of evidence-based techniques to enhance the communication and early literacy skills of children with disabilities and those at risk for language delays. The project also is evaluating how to provide continuity of services as children move from early childhood to preschool settings.
