Throughout Every Child Can Fly, Kozlowski explores the defining features of high-quality inclusion and shows readers how to provide access and support for children with disabilities. Learn how to help them feel included through strong family involvement, peer relationships, individualized teaching practices, collaborative teaming, ongoing evaluation, and staff professional development.

Memories of times when we have felt included, either as a child or as an adult, can guide us as educators. Early childhood inclusion can be the experience that launches a child into a lifetime of feeling welcomed and included in all community settings. Throughout this book, you will learn how to make that happen for the young children in your program. Together we can foster inclusion for all of the children, all of the families, and all of the baby birds as they learn to fly.
