Early Childhood Inclusion: Challenges and Strategies from the 2014 Preschool Inclusion Survey

The 2014 national Preschool Inclusion Survey, results of which are summarized in this document, affirmed that: 1) children with disabilities can be effectively educated in inclusive programs that use specialized instruction; 2) Inclusion benefits all children, both with and without disabilities; 3) families of all children generally have positive views of inclusion; 4) inclusion is not more expensive than separate instruction; and 5) children with disabilities do not need to be “ready” for enrollment in inclusive programs.
