Know More Do More: Early Childhood
A Whole Child Perspective
Early biological, psychological, and social-emotional development are critical elements of lifelong health and wellbeing. That's why giving children with disabilities the best possible start in life is essential. This starts by having a whole child perspective to ensure a lifetime of learning, growth, and opportunities in their community.
As we continue to celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, this week, we are featuring resources from our Lending Library on early childhood and supporting the whole child. This collection has been prepared by OCALI's Center for the Young Child.
