Meaningful Inclusion in Early Childhood 

How can a school meaningfully include students with disabilities in an early childhood program?
In moving interviews, parents in this video reveal the benefits for their children. Educators describe what they do and how they got there.
These stories come from the Sun Prairie (Wisconsin) Area School District, where inclusion is the norm for all early childhood programs supported by public dollars, whether offered in community or district settings.
