Warm Line/Inclusion
Florida Statute 402.3018 mandates the provision of a toll-free number to provide assistance and consultation specifically to child care personnel regarding the inclusion of children with disabilities and special health care needs. This number is known as the Warm Line. The toll-free local Warm Line is available to any early care and education provider requesting information relating to the disability and special health care needs issues of children.
Each early learning coalition provides Warm Line services for child care providers on topics including:
- Curriculum
- Strategies
- Child development
- Health
- Environmental adaptations
- Laws and regulations (i.e. The Americans with Disabilies Act)
