UW Experimental Education
Unit (EEU)
The EEU is a
comprehensive early childhood center providing inclusive educational
services for children with and without disabilities. The EEU offers
educational programs and services to support children with disabilities and
their families. All EEU programs encourage the development of children's
cognitive, motor, communications, and social interactive skills by
emphasizing educational and therapeutic interventions that are geared to
each child's individual needs. In addition, we provide community outreach
and education services. The program promotes social integration between
children with and without disabilities, across all parts of the school day.
Effective and systematic assessment and instructional strategies are used to
identify, teach, and support these important skills. Skills are taught
within the context of meaningful activities across the classroom curriculum.
Support services (e.g., speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical
therapy) are provided in naturalistic settings (i.e., the classroom) and use
activity-based instruction to enhance skill acquisition and generalization.
Data are collected to monitor child progress and instructional decisions are
based on those data.
