Subsidy Utilization and Impact on Early Care and Education of Low-income Children with Special Needs

Description:
The aim of this project was to describe the nature and impact of child care subsidy use by low-income families eligible for subsidies who have children with special needs. These children represent a substantial proportion of general population under age 5, including those served by child care subsidies. Poverty increases risk for developmental delays and disabilities, in addition to correlating negatively with school readiness. As such, young children with special needs in low-income families face compounded risk for poor outcomes, making even more critical early care and education experiences conducive to developmental gains.
