    How to Incorporate Inclusion into the Early Childhood Classroom

    The days of separating students based on special needs in the classroom are over. Research has shown that the inclusion of students with different learning patterns and skill levels allows for more diverse socializations and relationships, increased collaboration, and added preparation for adult life in an inclusive society. Keep reading to learn more about what inclusion can look like in your early childhood classroom!

    What Does Early Childhood Inclusion Look Like?

    Adults have had time to consider what learning methods and coping mechanisms work for them when they need to focus. But early childhood learners have not had the time and experiences to develop the coping skills to help them succeed.

    Educators can help make this learning process go more smoothly by incorporating inclusive activities and tools into the classroom environment. Some simple changes to a classroom environment or daily experience could be the difference between struggling students and focused learning.

    Inclusion in an early childhood classroom may include adaptable seating, fidgets, and other tools to help students learn. Focusing on highlighting student strengths can be incorporated into working to overcome their weaknesses.

    A classroom combination of students with special needs and appropriate peer models offers diverse and unique learning experiences for all early childhood learners.
