Associate Director of the Child Development Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Deborah Trouth is the Associate Director of the Child Development Laboratory (CDL), a university-based preschool and child care program operated by the Department of Human and Community Development on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. In January of 2003 the CDL expanded downward to provide full-day child care for children as young as six weeks of age. As part of this expansion Deborah was sent to California to participate in The Program for Infant/Toddler Caregivers (PITC). PITC was developed jointly by the Far West Laboratory and the California Education Department's Child Development Division. It is a comprehensive training system for both center-based and home-based providers of group care to infants and toddlers.
Ms Trouth has been working with children in some capacity since her graduation in 1973. Both her bachelor's and master's degrees are in special education. She completed her undergraduate work at Illinois State University, and her graduate work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
