SRI Education works to reduce educational barriers for students with learning and attention issues. We evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, conduct longitudinal population studies, and develop technology applications based on Universal Design for Learning principles. Our expertise spans disability categories and age ranges, English language learners, and a variety of content areas including STEM and literacy.

Programs serving children with disabilities—IDEA as a key component of a state early childhood system
Children’s early years are critical for their learning and development. Young children with developmental delays or disabilities need specialized services and supports to optimize their development and prepare for later learning. Families of young children with disabilities also need support from a broad array of services. These services are most effective when coordinated with other services and programs in the community. All programs serving young children and their families need to understand IDEA and what it means for families and children with disabilities to access and benefit from all early childhood programs available in their community.
