USE THE NEW PARENT CENTER PORTAL |
The Parent Center Technical Assistance
Network,
www.parentcenternetwork.org, is an innovative tool that allows
bilingual and multicultural staff to search for existing
publications created by other Parents Centers across the nation. Use
the search window on the top of the portal to look for publications
in different languages. The easiest way to find specific
publications is by typing the term (topic) in its native language.
For example, if you are looking for information on "early
intervention" you can type: "intervencion temprana", or "раннее
вмешательство", or 早的干預; etc. to find what is available. Another way
would be to type the term in English plus the desired language; for
example: "early intervention + spanish".
Why reinvent the wheel? You can use examples of what is already done
to design your own publications.
