About this Unit
Inclusion is both a right and an expectation for all children. Its effectiveness, however, depends upon teachers having the skills to facilitate the learning of children with a broad range of abilities within their educational setting. The impact of a range of additional needs on children, their families, early childhood and school settings are explored within ecological and eco-cultural frameworks and the implications for intervention and inclusion analysed. Collaboration, the role of multidisciplinary teams, transdisciplinary approaches to service delivery and the paramount role of families are advocated as essential for effective early childhood intervention and inclusion.
