Projects Overview

CBCSE has partnered on a wide range of projects related to student success in postsecondary, early identification of Autism, and supporting students to improve outcomes in school and beyond.

Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education lays the foundation for lifelong learning, development, and well-being. High-quality early learning experiences have been shown to support brain development during a critical period of a child’s life and help close achievement gaps before they widen.

Using Cross-Sector Data to Inform Early Childhood POlicy and Resource Allocation

Co-constructed, cross-sector pilot project examining the role of early childhood services in children’s learning and engagement in school.

Other Projects

Our work also examines the economic and social costs of high school dropouts and delayed early intervention diagnostic support. Through partnerships with institutions like UCLA’s Center for the Transformation of Schools and Northwestern University’s Early Intervention Research Group, we analyze the economic burdens tied to issues high school withdrawal, exclusionary discipline, absenteeism, and delays in accessing autism diagnostic services. Both projects aim to inform policy and practice by providing evidence on how systemic barriers contribute to long-term costs for individuals, families, and society.
