Resources: Review - The many interpretations of inclusion

1 min read
Supporting Inclusion in the Early Years is the latest in the valuable Open University series, Supporting Early Learning. In this book Caroline Jones has provided an extremely helpful guide to the policy and practice of inclusion in early years settings.

However, Jones also describes the way in which the word inclusion is now used more widely to cover children who differ from a setting's majority population in other ways. Jones also identifies an even wider use of the term to recognise that all children have individual needs. She suggests that those who are different in the more traditional sense of having disabilities or coming from a minority culture could be better served within such a universal definition.
