Support for Children with Special Needs

The Access and Inclusion Model (AIM) facilitates the participation of children with disabilities in the ECCE program without requiring a disability diagnosis. AIM offers seven levels of support, ranging from universal to targeted, based on the child’s and preschool provider’s needs, providing tailored support.

Levels 1 to 3 are accessible to all and include universal supports to foster inclusivity through educational initiatives for providers and practitioners.

Levels 4 to 7 offer targeted supports, which may include expert educational advice, specialized equipment, therapeutic supports, and additional funding for assistance in the preschool setting.

Parents, in conjunction with their chosen preschool provider, can assess and apply for the necessary supports under AIM to ensure their child’s successful inclusion in the program.

The AIM website offers detailed information and FAQs for parents, while local City or County Childcare Committees can provide further assistance and guidance on accessing AIM supports.
