Description:
Providing care for children is an important, challenging job. Caring for children with physical or mental disabilities adds extra challenges for child care providers.

This lesson discusses principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), methods to consider when implementing an inclusive child care plan, ways to adapt an existing child care program to make it inclusive, legal ramifications for non-compliance and availability of tax deductions for compliance with ADA, and the benefits of, and barriers to, an inclusive child care program.
