The CC2CC Certification Institute is designed to train trainers in itinerant early intervention/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) for children in classroom-based programs. In addition to educators, participants can include occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, or others supporting children in classrooms.
The CC2CC Certification Institute focuses on integrated therapy and collaborative consultation with classroom professionals. Participants will receive workshops and will practice CC2CC in role plays and in actual community classrooms. Professionals attending the CC2CC Certification Institute will be people from around the world who (a) have an opportunity to train others in itinerant services and (b) have an opportunity to demonstrate these practices in real classrooms.

Selection Criteria:
Because of the high demand for this training course and the limited space, we have strict criteria for admission: Candidates must have the opportunity to do ongoing home visits, ideally weekly with at least one family, even if their regular job is not as a home visitor, such as an administrator. Candidates must also have the opportunity to train others, perhaps because they are supervisors or they will be granted time to train colleagues. The more impact a certified trainer can have, the better.
