This session is the first in a series that will serve to establish foundational understanding of the neurodiversity paradigm, inclusive practice and strengths-based language.

• How can early childhood professionals ensure that their services are inclusive and equitable to all families?

This 2-hour-session will explore the concepts of equity, inclusion and high expectations, and help educators to reflect on these concepts and their current practice.
