The work of the Part C SSIP is aligned with the MSDE, DEI/SES early childhood special education goal: to implement a seamless and comprehensive statewide system of coordinated services within home, community, and early childhood settings for children with disabilities – birth to kindergarten – and their families to narrow the school readiness gap, specifically around social-emotional development and relationships. These grant funds are to be used to support the implementation and use of EBPs including Reflective Coaching, RBI, and Pyramid Model for children with disabilities, birth to kindergarten, and their families to narrow the school readiness gap.
MSDE will hold three customer service support sessions for interested applicants. During these sessions, MSDE personnel will review what applicants need to get started, the program requirements, as well as a walk-through of the application.
