Preschool Inclusion
By Claire C. Cavallaro, Ph.D., & Michele Haney, Ph.D.



This accessible handbook provides field-tested, research-based guidelines and strategies for including young children with disabilities in early childhood programs. A reader-friendly professional tool, it provides educators, Head Start personnel, and care providers with photocopiable forms and truly useful case studies so that they can promote inclusion right from the start of a child's social and educational experiences.

Reconciling the differences between early childhood education and early childhood special education, the scope of this book includes timely information on:

  • activity planning
  • collaboration
  • cultural issues
  • multiple disabilities
  • observational assessment
  • positive behavioral support
  • progress monitoring

For early childhood special educators, care providers, and students of child development, early childhood education, and early childhood special education, this is a much-needed and highly practical guide.
