Disability Inclusion Evaluation for Early Childhood Programs
Helping programs meet the needs of every child—because inclusion is non-negotiable.
Our Disability Support Evaluation is a comprehensive, mixed-methods program assessment designed to measure how effectively your early childhood education program meets the developmental needs of children with disabilities—socially, emotionally, academically, and holistically.
We don’t just hand you a report. We partner with you to illuminate strengths, uncover barriers, and co-create solutions that move your program toward its mission and compliance requirements.
Whether you are pursuing Universal Pre-K (UPK) approval, looking to strengthen inclusive practices, or seeking evidence to share with funders and families, this evaluation provides the data and actionable steps you need.
