Abstract and links updated, February 2019
On February 11, 2016, the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services hosted a discussion via Google Hangout about inclusion in early childhood programs and why it matters to states, early childhood programs, families, and young children with and without disabilities. The discussion kicked off a series of 3 webinars on the research, practice, and public awareness of inclusion in early childhood programs, as follows:
- Kickoff: Inclusion in Early Childhood Programs (February 11, 2016)
