Includ(Ed):
Early Childhood Inclusion Conference
Our Vision:
An opportunity to bring together families, early childhood educators, local businesses and organizations to create a community-wide partnership to increase disability awareness, support meaningful inclusion in early childhood programs and empower parents as advocates. We hope that no child will be turned away from a preschool based on assumptions about their disability.
