When children with disabilities are included in regular preschool and kindergarten classes, everyone benefits!
Including children with disabilities in regular preschool and kindergarten classes helps all children grow and learn. This course is the first in a three-part series on early childhood inclusion. You’ll explore why inclusion matters, what makes it successful, and how to create welcoming classrooms for every child. The next courses in the series will dive into planning as a team and using tools like accommodations and technology to support learning.
