Trying Together recently launched its Early Intervention Toolkit, a comprehensive guide designed to provide vital tools, strategies, and resources for early care and education programs, Early Intervention professionals, and families in Allegheny County.

The toolkit, which was unveiled during Trying Together’s UnConference at the Kaufmann Center in March, was developed with two main goals:

• To increase mutual understanding between ECE programs and Early Intervention (EI) services
• To strengthen the collaborative relationship between ECE professionals, EI professionals, and families

Users of the toolkit can explore a variety of resources online, but also have the option to print individual resources. Examples include:

• An introduction to Early Intervention
• How to connect families with Early Intervention
• ECE and EI collaboration
• Inclusive ECE environments
• Additional resources

Training Sessions

Trying Together will host training sessions on the toolkit this spring during which participants will discover how to navigate it to access a variety of resources for both parents and educators. Participants’ real-world needs will be used to identify resources from the toolkit to apply in their classroom settings.

The sessions will be held on Zoom. The course costs $20. The dates for the course include:

• Monday, April 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Wednesday, May 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Friday, June 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Registration for the training sessions is open.
