SCOPE Curriculum

The University of Cincinnati's Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and the Nisonger Center has created a two-hour, online training to provide early childhood educators/care providers introductory information on the following topics:

• Current status of the opiate epidemic

• Biology of addiction

• Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and other developmental outcomes of prenatal exposures

• Trauma-informed care

• Information on practices to implement when concerns arise with a child's development

Because this training is a collaborative effort between the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities (LEND) programs at Nisonger Center at The Ohio State University and University of Cincinnati’s Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, some information is Ohio-specific.
