Innovations in Inclusion

Final Agenda (PDF: 615kb) .

The National Early Childhood Inclusion Institute is the premier event for people who care about young children to come together to learn, share and problem-solve. It is an opportunity to keep up with what's happening in the field, broaden your knowledge of the latest inclusive practices, and further professional growth! This year's keynote speaker is Beth Harry, a parent of a child with a disability and author of "Melanie, Bird With A Broken Wing, A Mother's Story."

This is a promising time for those who work with young children, thanks to unprecedented support at the federal, state, and community levels. The 2011 Inclusion Institute provides many new opportunities to support early childhood inclusion, and covers topics such as:

Institute Goals

• To learn about research findings, models and resources to guide inclusive policy, professional development and practice
• To develop better collaborative relationships and cross-agency systems to support early childhood inclusion
• To have the opportunity to meet, learn from and problem solve with peers

Applications for CEUs and Certificates of Attendance are available.
