Alexander County Partnership for
Children was recently awarded funding from IMPACT NC for “Disability Aware”, a
community focused program designed
to promote early education of disabilities.
Over 1,000 families of children in Alexander County will be reached
through events at child care centers and other venues for families of young
children. The program will increase awareness of disabilities as a way for
families to secure early intervention services prior to kindergarten. Studies
have shown that early intervention services have significant impact in assuring
success of child upon entering kindergarten.
