Navy CYP Inclusion Standard Update Policy Letter

Navy Child and Youth Programs (CYP) has concluded a multi-year pilot to update and revise the inclusion process. The goals of the pilot were to streamline services for patrons with dependents who have disabilities: emotional, behavioral, or developmental identified needs, and to allow Navy CYP to utilize a team approach to support inclusion. Navy CYP is implementing inclusive practices to meet the legal requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The revised standard will assist Program Directors and Training & Curriculum Specialists in welcoming and supporting all families in Navy CYP. Updated guidance shall be fully implemented by December 31, 2021. Enclosure (2) provides guidance for utilizing current Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) forms 1700/42 and CNIC 1700/42A until updated forms are released.. In order to support the implementation of updated standards for inclusion, comprehensive training has been developed to assist installation personnel through the process.
