Families with special needs may be eligible for assistance in receiving child care and other supportive services through the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) Specialized Child Care Services programs, in accordance with OCCS policies. Parents and children who wish to participate in a specialized child care services program must meet eligibility criteria established by OCCS. Parents may apply through their local Child Care Resource and Referral Agency (CCR&R) or through a child care program that holds a contract to provide these specialized services.
Children with a disability meet the service need criteria for full-time care, whether or not their parents are available to provide care. In order to meet the service need as a child with a disability or special needs, the child must be eligible to receive early intervention services, 766 services, and/or be diagnosed by a physician.
Children with special needs who cannot attend child care without specific program accommodations may be eligible for funding from the Income Eligible flex pool. Such funding may be used to support training for program staff, consultation to identify necessary supports for the child, technical assistance in meeting the individual needs of the child, enhanced staffing to maintain the child in the program, or specialized equipment. Children served through this funding must have documented physical, mental, or behavioral disabilities that have prohibited or will prohibit the child from participating in the program.
