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. More on early childhood special education.

This video has the voices of families who have been active participants in their child’s program as well as IEP. It’s a favorite because of the voices heard from various representatives from the program. It’s not specifically about family engagement, but rather the outcomes from family engagement in an inclusive early childhood program.
