Susan Sandall, Professor, College of Education, University of Washington - October 17, 2016
"The second edition of this comprehensive text is an essential resource for implementing successful inclusion and ensuring that all children learn and thrive in their early childhood classrooms."
Barbara Smith, Research Professor, School of Education and Human Development, University of Colorado Denver - October 14, 2016
"Research evidence supports educating young children with special needs with their typically developing peers if those settings and early education practices are high quality. This book provides the guidance to school districts and other early education programs they need to ensure that their inclusion focus is not just on placement opportunities but on successful experiences for all the children. This takes professional development and support, intentional teaching strategies and a focus on the individual needs of all children and families."
Mary McLean, Professor, Department of Special Education, School Psychology and Early Childhood Studies, University of Florida - October 9, 2016
"The authors have done an excellent job of presenting evidence-based practice from early childhood education and early childhood special education in a way which will facilitate high quality services for all children. The content is blended throughout so the reader will understand recommended practices from both fields and, most importantly, how they can be implemented together in the same classroom. As a result, this text will be highly effective in blended personnel preparation programs, and equally effective in programs that are not blended."
Dathan Rush, Associate Director, Family, Infant & Preschool Program - October 4, 2016
"The addition of new chapters providing "how to" guidance in several subject areas to promote learning of young children with and without disabilities in classroom-based settings makes the second edition a resource you will turn to again and again."
Virginia Buysse, Principal Researcher, American Institutes for Research - October 4, 2016
"This edition is regarded as a primary source for anyone seeking a comprehensive approach for implementing quality inclusive practices in early education."
