This session examines the evolving landscape of early childhood special education through frameworks that center inclusion, culture, and equity. Presenters analyze systemic disparities in service delivery, explore the values underpinning decades of inclusive practice, and interrogate how transition processes shape outcomes for young children with disabilities.
