What is Inclusion? “including children with disabilities in early childhood

programs, together with their peers without disabilities;

“holding high expectations and intentionally promoting participation in all learning and social activities, facilitated

by individualized accommodations; and

“using evidence-based services and supports to foster their

development (cognitive, language, communication, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional),

friendships with peers, and

sense of belonging.”
