All Devereux Early Childhood Assessment Training
Devereux Early Childhood Assessment Training (All Virtual for 2024)
The Michigan Department of Education is the lead agency for Early On. It is responsible for the general administration, supervision, and monitoring of early intervention programs and activities within the Early On system. All Early On activities are conducted, however, in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services (Public Health and Mental Health Divisions), through the auspices of the state's interagency agreement. Other key players in Early On include families, hospitals, other health care providers, universities, private service providers, advocacy organizations, parent groups, and community organizations.
Through MDE’s partnership with MDHHS Division of Mental Health Services to Children and Families, specialized trainings are offered to support service providers, supervisors and other community partners in learning more about social and emotional development of infants, young children and their families. Below, we list several trainings that support the understanding, interpretation and use of the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment Program for Infants and Toddlers (DECA I/T) and the clinical version being used in Michigan’s Mental Health System for children from 24 months up to the age of 47 months. These tools are strength-based and designed to promote the protective factors central to social and emotional health and resilience in our youngest children.
Who Can Attend the Trainings?
Attendees can include Early On staff who 1) complete assessments as a regular part of their job and/or 2) persons that are currently writing IFSPs and/or providing service coordination to families on a regular basis and 3) Early On Coordinators or those who support Early On staff regularly. Attendees can also include Community Mental Health staff or contract staff who work with infants, young children, aged birth to 47 months in a variety of services/programs (Home-based Services, Infant Mental Health, Assessment, etc.). In the MDHHS contract with the PIHPs/CMHSPs, the DECA is a required assessment tool for all infants, toddlers, young children with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) in the CMHSP system, ages 1 month through 47 months.
For currently scheduled trainings, please see the options below the descriptions.
Any questions, please contact Mary Mackrain at mackrainm@michigan.gov or Julie Helmer at jhelmer@michigan.gov
For questions related to the electronic DECA system (eDECA) use, contact Mary Mackrain at mackrainm@michigan.gov
