Project Description:
The "Building Bridges" project aims to foster a culture of inclusive care and support for children with disabilities in community-based childcare, before/after school programs, and social programs through training, resource utilization, and technical assistance. This goal will be achieved by engaging community agencies alongside NDCPD staff in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training activities, including creating a community of practice where agencies will come together to problem-solve, share best practices, and learn from each other to create inclusive environments for children with disabilities within their respective programs.
