High-quality inclusion in preschool settings: A survey of early childhood personnel

Description:

We utilized a survey to explore how early childhood personnel delivered high-quality and inclusive preschool special education and related services to young children with disabilities in one Western state. We conducted quantitative analyses on 418 participants’ survey responses, including t-tests and Mann Whitney tests to examine differences in the use of high-quality inclusion practices between early childhood special educators (ECSEs) (n=209) and related service personnel (RSP) (n=209). Findings indicated that ECSEs were more likely than RSP to implement high-quality inclusion practices. All personnel reported inconsistent use of teaming practices. Services were provided most often inside the classroom with peers; however, several personnel provided support to children inside their classroom but in a separate space or outside of their classroom.
