Extractions: Systems Products ... Related Links The Dynamic Community Connections Project (DCCP) was developed to enhance public awareness about early intervention services and the referral process for the services for young children with developmental delays and disabilities and their families in rural areas of Montana. The awareness of the need to enhance public awareness and child find efforts became apparent as the Infant and Toddler Program agencies in Montana prepared for federal monitoring of Montana's Part C early Intervention (EI) services.

DCCP is based on the premise that how people access information may be unique in rural areas and that statewide public awareness campaigns may not reach certain rural populations. Thus, public awareness and child find campaigns need to be specifically developed for rural areas. Other key foundations for successful and comprehensive campaigns in rural areas are:
