Finding affordable and accessible child care shouldn't be impossible for families of children with disabilities. But the reality is that many child care programs don’t know how or are afraid to include children with disabilities. In fact, families of children with disabilities are three times more likely to experience job disruptions because of problems with child care. We believe every child deserves to thrive—and families need support to make it happen!
