We know that intervening early with family-centered, evidence-based practices can change a child’s life. Research shows that school readiness begins at birth to build a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

For the Early Childhood Imperative — in partnership with national experts and organizations — we provide an implementation framework of technical assistance, self-assessment, and support that mirrors current special education accountability and compliance under state and federal law.

Through this framework, our goal as educational leaders is to implement a seamless and comprehensive statewide system of coordinated services for children with disabilities – from birth to kindergarten – and their families in homes, communities, and early childhood settings to narrow the school readiness gap.
