Early Childhood Inclusion: A Joint
Position Statement of DEC
and NAEYC
![Page 5: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Definition
Early childhood inclusion embodies the values, policies, and practices that support the right of every infant and young child and his or her family, regardless of ability, to participate in a broad range of activities and contexts as full members of families, communities, and society. The desired results of inclusive experiences for children with and without disabilities and their families include a sense of belonging and membership, positive social relationships and friendships, and development and learning to reach their full potential. The defining features of inclusion that can be used to identify high quality early childhood programs and services are access, participation, and supports.

What evidence-
based practices
support each and every
child in inclusive settings?

Defining Features Access
Access – means providing a wide range of activities and environments for every child by removing physical barriers and offering multiple ways to promote learning and development.
![Page 8: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EBP: Universal Design and Universal Design for Learning
UD and UDL mean the removal of physical and structural barriers (UD) and the provision of multiple and varied formats for instruction and learning (UDL).

Three key concepts
![Page 12: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Multiple Means of Representation
Various formats:
kinestheticVisualauditory
![Page 13: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What can it look like?
• Books that are small or large, hard or soft• Books on tape• Some items or materials that are familiar and
others that are novel• Materials that support earlier developmental
levels and later developmental levels• Materials that enable children to work individually
or with others/support
![Page 14: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
UDL: Multiple Means of Engagement
Attention curiosity
MOTIVATION
Interests preferences
personal style
![Page 15: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What can it look like?
• Children get to make choices (toy or activity)
• Children get to choose how and where they want to engage with materials
• Children get to choose to work alone or with others
![Page 16: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
UDL: Multiple Means of Expression
Typing/texting
![Page 17: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What can it look like?
Children get to choose the method/form in which they express or demonstrate their understanding (that matches the teacher’s learning goal)
There ample opportunities, materials, or guidance to support children in expressing themselves in multiple ways
There are many different things children produce, and/or a variety of observable, evaluative child actions (differentiated product)
![Page 18: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What can it look like?
• Children get to choose the method/form in which they express or demonstrate understanding (that matches the targeted goal or outcome)
• There are ample opportunities, materials, or guidance to support children in expressing themselves in multiple ways
![Page 19: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Supporting Sophia with UDL
How might you use• multiple means of representation (visual, auditory,
kinesthetic)
• multiple means of engagement (interests, preferences, curiosity, motivation)
• multiple means of expression (speaking, pointing, singing, drawing, gestures)
to support Sophia and children like her?

Scaffolding strategies are structured, targeted approaches that can be used with children who require more intensive supports across a wide variety of teaching and learning contexts, and in combination with other approaches. Scaffolding strategies include modeling, response prompting, peer supports, and corrective feedback.
![Page 29: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Adaptations Help All Children
• Adaptations can be used to:
• Make situations better for a particular child.
• Improve situations for the entire group.
![Page 30: Camille Catlett Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute camilletlett@unc](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813c92550346895da6417d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Putting It All Together
Drew can find transitions to be very challenging. With a partner, use the Adaptation Notes to strategize about ways in which you can help Drew’s family to support successful transitions at home and in community settings.
