Inclusion is the right of typically developing children to participate in a broad range of activities in their natural setting and be full members of their communities and society.

The Joint Position Statement of Division of Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children and NAEYC define inclusion as access, participation, and supports.

Accommodations are skills that children learn so that they can participate in a program.

Currently all public and private early childhood programs believe in and practice inclusion.

The development of typically developing children can be negatively impacted by socializing with children with disabilities.

One if the downfall of inclusion is that it can be costly.

Some examples of inclusion strategies include: sensory materials, quiet areas, peer modeling, and consistency.

Quality Inclusive preschool classrooms look very different than non-inclusive quality preschool classrooms.

In an inclusive classroom the teacher, the speech therapist, the physical therapist and the occupational therapist all have very different roles and separate roles with the children.

Inclusive curriculum allows for accommodations to be made for all children.
