Children and disability in early childhood education: “special” or inclusive education?

Authors
Abstract

This article looks at how the belief system of “special” education can act as a barrier to inclusion in early childhood education for children with disabilities and their families. The author suggests that changes in special education thought and practice are necessary if early childhood education is to progress inclusion for all.
