Spotlight
A Guide for Including People with Disabilities in Disaster Preparedness Planning: This guide explores emergency preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery for people with disabilities. Various resources useful to both emergency management professionals and people with disabilities are found throughout the text and in the appendices.
Routes to Successful Inclusion (PowerPoint)
Routes to Successful Inclusion is a web toolkit for caregivers
of children birth to age five. Adapted from a training we developed
for child care providers, the toolkit guides users through three
introductory modules on the inclusion of children of all abilities
in natural early childhood settings.
CT KASA Health Care Guides: In partnership with the CT Department of Public Health, CT-KASA has created booklets on transitioning youth with disabilities into adult health care.
