Digital Imagery Project

I hope that most of you have seen the MovieMaker project I presented in class, because I will not be able to post it online at this time. Additional information on the planning process can be seen on our wiki communication at http://techacrosscurriculum.wikispaces.com/
The video is a brief introduction to Early Intervention in North Carolina for parents, family members, professionals and all interested residents of our state. The current version is in English only, but I hope to make a Spanish equivalent and post both versions online in the near future. As an overview of early intervention for children who have visible or invisible special needs, the video briefly describes the 2 parts of the Early Intervention system: The Infant Toddler Program and The Preschool Program. It explains how both are mandated by The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). I made every attempt to represent cultural backgrounds of families in our state and to represent caring and concern for ALL families. It also provides contact information to learn more about accessing North Carolina's early intervention system and any other NC program or service for children with special needs and their families.
