Navy Child and Youth Programs (CYP) has concluded a multi-year pilot to update and revise the inclusion process. The goals of the pilot were to streamline services for patrons with dependents who have disabilities: emotional, behavioral, or developmental identified needs, and to allow Navy CYP to utilize a team approach to support inclusion. Navy CYP is implementing inclusive practices to meet the legal requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Inclusion Support Plan (ISP) is an individualized targeted plan for how to support the childΓÇÖs strengths and needs, including family recommendations, accommodations, strategies, positive behavior supports, family support, training, and the roles and responsibilities of the CYP team.

Programs can use this attachment as an enclosure to document specific case information to include each child, the childΓÇÖs needs presented at the IAT, accommodations required to meet the childΓÇÖs needs, and IAT recommendations.

The following checklists may be used to gather information about environmental factors that influence the program's ability to support children's needs.
