While the IDEA regulations are the same for early childhood special education as they are for K-12 students, service delivery in early childhood special education is unique. There is an array of early childhood education programs, with differing requirements, where children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) may be educated. This can include community-based programs.This results in children with IEPs being educated in different contexts and taught with different service delivery models. This webinar will provide an introductory overview of early childhood education programs, including early childhood special education. It is designed for special education directors and administrators with responsibilities in early childhood who wish to learn more about early childhood education programs and models for service delivery.

Resources will be emailed to those registered a few days prior to the event. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be available to all who register.

Registration questions should be directed to Jackie Kilkeary, TTAC GMU, at jkilkear@gmu.edu.

Content questions should be directed to Dawn Hendricks, Early Childhood Special Education Coordinator by email at Dawn.hendricks@doe.virginia.gov.
