Inclusive Early Childhood Education - Webinar 1: Inclusion in Early Childhood Services

In this 90-minute webinar you will be introduced to the concept of early childhood inclusion for children with disabilities and developmental delays, including ethical and legal obligations related to including children with disability or developmental delay in your early childhood education and care service. You will reflect on what participation and engagement of children with disabilities or delays can look like in practice and identify potential barriers to inclusion. An overview of best practice in early childhood intervention will be provided, including examples of how these practices can be implemented in regular early childhood education and care settings.

At the conclusion of this webinar, you will have the knowledge to:
* identify best practice in inclusive early childhood education.
* describe the ethical and legal reasons for the inclusion of children with disabilities and additional needs in early childhood education and care programs.
