Nationally, as well as in Kentucky, the growing challenges and responsibilities faced by Directors of Special Education (e.g., DoSEs) and early childhood coordinators are daunting (Bellamy & Iwaszuk, 2017). The need to deliver high quality services to infants, toddlers, and youth with disabilities places a premium on highly skilled local DoSEs. In Kentucky, many local DoSEs also hold the added role as supervisors for the Local Education Agency's (LEA) early childhood program. It has become increasingly clear throughout the country there is an ongoing challenge to identify, recruit, and prepare highly skilled local DoSEs, early intervention service leaders, and Part C coordinators as well as retain high quality leadership.
