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.
