EC3073 Inclusive Practice

This course focuses on an inclusionary perspective to support students in examining attitudes, values and biases related to children with varied abilities, their families, and early learning environments. The course will include a focus on the historical perspectives and practices that have impacted and influenced Canadian legislation, models of disability, and current day approaches to support inclusion for children in a variety of early learning settings.  This course provides students with comprehensive introduction to children and youth who display various categories of exceptionality to view them from a biopsychosocial perspective and view interventions from a social systems theory perspective.  Students will acquire knowledge of the philosophies, practices, and policies that determine the care, education, and support of children and youth with varying needs in order to emphasize a child-first approach.
