Research and practice in the field of early childhood
increasingly supports the full inclusion of young children within
early childhood environments. Until 2009, the field lacked a
national definition for inclusion, which resulted in vast
disparity among programs and practices. This disparity was
further exacerbated by the historical segregation between the
fields of early childhood general and special education.
The joint position statement on inclusion developed by the
Division of Early Childhood of the Council of Exceptional
Children (DEC) and the National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC) was released in 2009 and changed
both the lack of a national definition as well as some aspects of
this historical segregation. Consider the following definition
included in the statement:
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.
Reflect on the required resources provided for this Discussion,
as well as the media segments featuring conversations with Drs.
Amy Santos and Johnna Darragh.
Considerer:
Ways in which you believe the DEC/NAEYC joint position
statement on inclusion contributes to the field
A brief summary of the research synthesis points for inclusion
and how a focus on access, participation, and supports can be
extended to support the belonging and participation of every
child, including those who are culturally, linguistically, and
ability diverse
What you perceive to be the benefits of and obstacles to
ensuring that every child is included within early childhood
programs
With all of these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post:
A brief summary of the ways in which the letters to the editor
you reviewed brought up similar and differing arguments, and
why you felt certain reasoning was most effective as an
advocacy effort
An explanation, based on the media segments and citing
examples, of the benefits of child-centered, play-based, and
discovery learning for each age/development level—
infants/toddlers, preschoolers, and primary-age children
