Utah is unique in its child care needs with the highest birthrate in the country and the youngest average population. Due to parental employment outside the home, 136,000 Utah children require care. During this LIVE call-in television program talk to experts from the Utah State Department of Child Care about resources available to help parents and care givers. Simon Bolivar, State Child Care Licensing Administrator, will be our guest.

Perhaps you know of people whose lives are intimately affected by disabilities. Perhaps it's you. One issue surrounding those with disabilities is education and the trend of inclusion. Inclusion is the practice of involving those with disabilities in a mainstream classroom. Parents, students, and teachers are all affected by inclusion and opinions are varied.
