Summary

Part 1 in this webinar series introduces participants to the Division for Early Childhood’s (DEC) Recommended Practices (RPs). DEC Recommended Practices bridge the gap between research and practice, offering guidance to parents and professionals who work with young children who have or are at risk for developmental delays or disabilities. Through recent collaborative work with the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (ECTA), the practices have been revised and updated, and a new set is now available. The updated set of practices consists of 8 domains: leadership, assessment, environment, family, instruction, interaction, teaming and collaboration, and transition.

This webinar is designed to familiarize participants with many of the resources and materials developed in partnership with the ECTA Center to support family use of the RPs in order to promote positive outcomes for young children (0-8) with or at risk of developmental delays and disabilities.
