Inclusive Education in the Early Years is written for pre-service teachers to assist in the development of their skills and knowledge about inclusion, disability and inclusive education, within the context of their role as early childhood educators. The text covers critical aspects of teacher development in relation to fostering inclusive language and communication, enabling social interactions (including play) and supporting positive behaviour development.
The state of play and implications of the current Australian context for early childhood education is explored, including consideration of the Early Years Learning Framework of Australia and the current legislative and policy contexts.
