Families of young children with disabilities and developmental delays can register for an online Early Childhood Academy offered by the Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Education. The free, five-week learning program is designed to provide parents and caregivers of children from birth to age 6 with useful tips and ideas for supporting their child's development and resources to help make the transition from early intervention to school less confusing. The Early Childhood Academy course is self-paced, with new sessions opening weekly from Aug. 16 through Sept. 20 and available at any time of day.
