Resource Library
This resource database was developed by the USC College of Education in collaboration with early childhood faculty at Greenville, Midlands, and Trident Technical Colleges through federal-grant funding to support early childhood faculty at South Carolina Technical Colleges to embed information about inclusion and supporting children with disabilities across early childhood coursework. When the federal grant ended, the researchers reached out to the Inclusion Collaborative to house the resource database on this website and to make it accessible to the wider early childhood community. The more than 300 high-quality resources include evidence-based strategies and community resources that support the inclusion young children with disabilities in early childhood settings.
