ADVOCACY - Early Intervention and Early Childhood Education are Vital Investments
"I recently had the pleasure to meet with Kurt and Chloe
Kondrich to discuss the importance of early intervention and early childhood
education investments. Kurt is the co-chair of the Pennsylvania State
Interagency Coordinating Council for Early Intervention and director of
Community and Family Outreach with Early Intervention Specialists. I learned
about how Chloe, who was born with Down Syndrome, is excelling in the fifth
grade at Upper St. Clair’s Boyce Middle School and is fully included with her
peers. She is reading on grade level thanks to early intervention, which saves
thousands of dollars that would have been spent on special education. As a
former law enforcement officer, Kurt attests to the return on investment that
early intervention and early childhood education investments pays in lower
incarceration rates, public assistance costs and lost taxes, just to name a few
areas. Thank you Kurt and Chloe, for meeting with me."
