National Organizations' Position Statements on Inclusion for Young Children with Disabilities
NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Position Statement on Inclusion.
[Extract] "Inclusion, as a value, supports the right of all children, regardless of their diverse abilities, to participate actively in natural settings within their communities. A natural setting is one in which the child would spend time had he or she not had a disability. Such settings include, but are not limited to, home and family, play groups, child care, nursery schools, Head Start programs, kindergartens, and neighborhood school classrooms."
