The International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute has become one of the premier educational opportunities for anyone involved in the care and education of young children with disabilities in inclusive settings.
For more than 21 years, the Institute has drawn people from across the nation and around the world to Chapel Hill to:
- learn about the latest research findings, models, and resources that guide inclusive policy, professional development, and practice;
- to develop collaborative relationships and cross-agency systems that support early childhood inclusion; and
- to have the opportunity to meet, learn from, and problem-solve with peers.
