About us
The Early Childhood Intervention Doctoral Consortium (ECiDC) is federally funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to prepare 28 scholars from ten universities (IHEs) who represent four academic disciplines and 15 programs of study to become leaders in early intervention, and early childhood special education and related services (Occupational Therapy, Social Work, and Speech and Language) for infants and young children with high, intensive, interdisciplinary, and individualized learning needs and their families.
