For over 21 years, the Institute has drawn people from across the nation and around the world to Chapel Hill:

• to learn about the latest research findings, models, and resources to guide inclusive policy, professional development and practice;
• to develop collaborative relationships and cross-agency systems to support early childhood inclusion;
• to have the opportunity to meet, learn from, and problem solve with peers.

We are looking forward to our first ever hybrid International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute, and we are thrilled to be welcoming participants virtually and in-person.  We are working hard to plan an event that shines a light on topics that matter the most to you in serving children with disabilities in our world right now.  We hope that the institute will leave you feeling informed, energized, and supported.

We have two options for attending the Inclusion Institute this year:

• Inclusion Institute in-person attendee- attending live sessions in-person in Chapel Hill, NC at the Friday Center (beginning on April 26th at 1 p.m. eastern time)
