Welcome to the UIC Child & Family Development Center (CFDC).
This website is a resource for professionals, caregivers, and
family members who want to learn more about early education,
care, and development. CFDC is home to programs and professionals
who work with and on behalf of young children with and without
disabilities and their families. Making a difference in the
lives of young children and their families is what CFDC is all
about.
The Child & Family Development Center (CFDC) is an interdisciplinary
public service and research Center located on the campus of
the University of Illinois-Chicago. The primary goal of CFDC
is to promote positive outcomes for young children and their
families. We address this goal by working concurrently in the areas of community service, research, and professional development to:
Deliver high quality, early intervention services to
young children with disabilities and their families;
Build an interdisciplinary science of child health, learning,
and behavior;
Advance our understanding of how to effectively address
learning and performance disparities;
Apply research findings to the development of innovative,
evidence-based models and practices; and
Prepare aspiring and practicing professionals to make evidence-based
decisions that improve services and supports to young children
with disabilities and their families
