Participation of Each Young Child
Early Childhood
Inclusion: A Joint
Position
Statement of DEC
and NAEYC
Early childhood inclusion embodies the values,
policies, and practices that support the right of
every infant and young child and his or her family,
regardless of ability, to participate in a broad range
of activities and contexts as full members of
families, communities, and society. The desired
results of inclusive experiences for children with
and without disabilities and their families include a
sense of belonging and membership, positive social
relationships and friendships, and development
and learning to reach their full potential. The
defining features of inclusion that can be used to
identify high quality early childhood programs and
services are access, participation, and supports.
