This 1-hour call shared the findings from a 5-year study funded by OSEP to look at the Cost, Quality and Outcomes of Preschool Inclusion. The study addressed the following questions:

  1. What is the global quality of environments across different types of inclusive early childhood programs?
  2. What is the quality of the inclusive experiences for children with disabilities in inclusive settings?
  3. What is the developmental progress of children with disabilities in inclusive settings? And
  4. How is the quality of inclusive programs related to developmental progress and social performance of children with disabilities?

The presentation, a recording of the conference call and handout are available below.
