Inclusion in Early Childhood Programs examines the education and care of children with disabilities from birth through school age. Readers are provided with brief coverage of child development theory and the barriers to true inclusion at all levels—program, community, and government. In this text, the fact that children are different is not hidden: rather we seek to recognize and celebrate human diversity. An inclusive approach to working with children who have disabilities requires drawing on a social and relational model of disability, critical disability studies, a disability justice framework, critical race theory, ethics of care, and child development theory. This resource provides updated research and current trends, reflecting the challenges educators face today. It inspires readers to work toward a world of inclusivity for all.
This publication draws on a number of sources from the literature & statistical analysis to provide a demographic profile of children with disabilities in Canada. It includes information on: numbers of children with disabilities by type of disability; family income & labour force participation; family life, including access to support services, caregiving responsibilities, and impacts of disability on the family; life in the community (child care, education, health services, recreation); and freedom from verbal abuse, threats, & physical assault.
This workbook is a tool for assessing inclusion quality in early childhood centres and for helping centre move toward higher quality inclusion. The Scale provides a picture of sustainable and evolving inclusion quality--an emerging issue as more children with special needs attend communitybased centres and as inclusion pioneers leave their centres and a new generation of directors and early childhood educators take on the inclusion challenges.

This book is a collection of articles from people throughout the Americas examining the rights of all children, in particular children with disabilities. The contributors look at such issues as what these rights are and how their denial affects children's lives; the impact of an increasingly fast-paced, morally dazed world on families and children; how poverty, lack of services, and institutionalization affect children and their families; and how policy influences children's rights to justice, medical treatment, day care, and education. A number of articles focus on partnerships in community living as a means of strengthening the family through policy initiatives, promoting the rights of children through social policy, and strengthening communities through policy and program initiatives. Personal stories from children with disabilities and their family members illustrate the points raised.
