Supported Child Development (Richmond)
The Richmond Supported Child Development Program (SCDP) is a community-based program designed to support families and children with extra support needs to access inclusive child care that meets family needs. The heart of SCDP is the philosophy of inclusion. We believe that children and youth of diverse abilities have a right to participate in a full range of child care opportunities with their peers. SCDP Consultants are professionals that have been educated and trained to support the philosophy of inclusion.
SCDP works in partnership with parents and professionals to support children with developmental disabilities or delays to successfully participate in community childcare settings.
This includes:
-Individual planning to promote each child’s development;
-Training and information for families and childcare providers to foster the child’s development;
-Referrals to other services such as therapists or specialists;
-Where necessary, additional staffing to ensure that children may participate fully with their peers within a childcare program.
