The KITS project and staff are committed to supporting our tiny-k programs across the state during this time as we all address the COVID-19 virus. Although we have stopped our participation in and hosting face-to-face activities, we are here for support via email, phone and interactive distance technology.
As appropriate we will post documents specific to COVID-19 and delivery of early intervention service in the top box on the right
Professional Development for Early Childhood Professionals and Families
The KITS project has extensive experience and is designed to provide training, technical assistance, and resources for early intervention and early childhood special education program staff through collaborative activities on a comprehensive statewide basis. Additionally, parents and staff of agencies collaborating with early intervention and preschool programs are afforded the opportunity to be involved in all activities associated with the project. The comprehensive system is realized through four identified system components of collaboration / linkages, information services, training, and technical assistance.
