Inclusion in the Early Years

Second Edition


April 2013 | 208 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This insightful text shows how the attitudes of adults in early years settings can influence practice. The authors argue for a broad definition of inclusion, not limited to those with learning difficulties or impairment, but addressing factors affecting all members of the learning community. The book shows how the lives of practitioners, parents and children have been affected by inclusive and exclusionary practices.

This new and revised edition includes an increased focus on:

- inclusion as a political issue

- social class

- poverty

- children's rights

- gay and lesbian parents and staff

This text is essential for all early years students, practitioners and researchers who want to become familiar with current research into inclusion and to develop ways of drawing on such studies to inform and devleop their own inclusive practices.

A central text which covers the key areas around inclusion, policy and legislation. This will be particularly useful to students as they prepare for placement and begin to recognise the importance placed about working within a multi-professional team.

This is a very useful text, providing a good discussion of the concept of inclusion and its application in early years. I have encouraged students to use this not only in my unit but for other units in their early years course.
