About This Webinar
Child care providers and preschool teachers need to use best-practices to successfully include young children with autism and related disorders in their programs. This webinar discusses best practices for including all children (birth-5) in program activities. Presenters define what is inclusion and the benefits of including young children with autism and related disorders in child care and preschool settings. They also discuss best practices professionals can use to include young children with autism and identify social and physical modifications for the environment that could support successful inclusion.

Due to COVID-19, the ability to access face-to-face professional development has become very limited.

Individuals seeking CE credit to be used towards other state or agency credentials should contact their credentialing/licensing agency for guidance.
