Health plays a huge role in this. Connect families with a health home, help them develop a package of services. Connecting health services and pyramid model.

have a cohort with equity right now.  with the lens of disabilities it would nice to use with the management systems wheel.

Why do we keep separating disabilities and equity?  Need to promote it as one. IDEA covers birth - 21. Head Start has to empower the parents!

some people may not be aware of the responsibilities of Collab offices. How do we make sure that is elevated.

MSHS run in the summer and in many states the school district doesn't - and sometimes they don't want to evaluate students because the student won't be going there. could we use the MCPs to set up agreements with LEAs and talk about equity by using them.

How to help families understand their rights.  How to help programs advocate for children and families.  Understanding the law and being able to share that.

not always a recognition that there are protected groups or that equity applies to every child. need for support - with school districts and state - to understand. sometimes the feeling is that HS programs don't have power over some of those programs/strategies. a lot of times HS gets hung up in connecting with school districts over disabilities services. many programs are writing waivers for the 10%.

what do we know about their background knowledge? (first question) this is a very hot topic and is culturally laden, there are lots of challenges and taboos.. we have to know where the program is starting

What additional conversations and/or learning does your organization need to have to continue to center the MCP?

In what ways could the program deepen relationships with community partners?

What room for improvements do you see possible? What opportunities are there to explore, nurture, or grow?

For which groups or topics does your program need to do more to ensure equity for children with disabilities and their families? (e.g., children who are DLL with disabilities, developing MOUs)
