The UNESCO Chair focuses on practices that promote access and participation of all children in activities that support their development in natural settings (home, daycare, etc.). These environments offer multiple learning opportunities and support skills in several areas of child development. Members will explore models for combining different levels of support (quality curriculum for all children, minimal accommodations, specialized interventions) based on the child’s various needs in these settings.
A new seven-year project, Early Intervention in Daycare Settings: An Intersectoral Model to Support Children in Inclusive Early Childhood Centers has been in place since 2017. This project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Program. It aims to develop, implement and evaluate a model supporting the overall development of children in inclusive daycare settings in Quebec. It is carried out in close collaboration with several early childhood partners, who are stakeholders in every stage of the project, namely seven daycare centers, three ministries and several other collaborators from the academic sector and from promotion and orientation organizations.
The Partnership project will:

The project From Integrative Practices for Children with Intellectual Disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorder to Inclusive Practices in Early Childhood Centers: Intervention Program "All Different Children, All Winners" was funded by SSHRC over a five-year period (2012-2017). This innovative project studied ways of supporting educators in an inclusive daycare center, who are working with the educational program of daycare centers by experimenting with the program "Children all different, all winners". It aimed to formalize and experiment the program, to evaluate its implementation and its effects as well as study the possibilities of generalizing the program in other contexts. Following an experimentation of the program with seven daycare centers, this project identified variables to be considered in developing a model that supports the development of all the children in inclusive daycare settings.
Two other projects led by the chair holder focused specifically on interventions targeting young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The first project, Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) in Quebec: Portrait of Its Implementation and Measurement of its Effects in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Their Families and Settings, was funded by the Quebec Research Fund - Society and Culture (FRQSC) over a period of five years. In Quebec, IBI is part of CRDITED's offer of specialized services, but little data is available from public service providers on the implementation and effects of these programs on large groups of children. Conducted in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the research project aimed to identify the various IBI models used in each institution and their implementation conditions as well as measure the effects of this intervention on the child and his/her family over time. Overall, the authors concluded the importance of maintaining IBI and the need to oversee its implementation on a larger scale. This research project, carried out in partnership with a large number of institutions across the province, laid the groundwork for a joint thinking process aimed at improving practices.
The second project, Development and Knowledge Transfer of the Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention Program: Reconciling Best Practices and Real-World Transferability, was funded by a grant from the Valorization and Transfer Support Program provided by the Ministry of Economy, Science and Innovation. It is in response to a need for IBI program documentation identified by the previous project on the evaluation of IBI implementation and its effects in Quebec. Beginning in 2014, the project extended over a period of two and a half years in partnership with representatives of seven Integrated Health and Social Services Centers in Quebec. The main outcome of this project is access to an IBI program protocol that takes into account the scientific literature, but also the realities of various settings. This protocol is based on detailed and comprehensive documentation with practical tools, thus promoting staff training and more faithful application of the program.
