Video Library Course for Families Overview
Ayllu's video curriculum library project has been in the works since the beginning of the year, collaborating with a handful of expert content contributors across the United States. Funded by the Dan Thompson Memorial grant through the Department of Developmental Disabilities Association of Washington state, Manos Unidas International was awarded $170,000 to produce video curriculum courses in Spanish to educate, train and inform Hispanic families with children with disabilities. We are honored to work with may specialists in their fields and help them organize and map out their expert knowledge for our courses.
We are pleased to share our course overview with you and the names of our incredible contributors.
