EARLY CHILDHOOD INCLUSION

Early childhood inclusion photos

All aspects of early childhood inclusion have been a strong interest of Dr. Guralnick's since he carried out the first research study on this topic in 1974. This was followed a few years later by his edited volume on inclusion summarizing our then current knowledge. Of more recent interest, specific areas investigated include the social and psychological impact of inclusion, adaptations by children with and without disabilities in inclusive settings, parent perspectives, analyses of programmatic influences, and analyses of relevant policies.
