Abstract "What might it mean for young children with disabilities to experience freedom and belonging from their earliest moments in school? This volume provides an in-depth discussion and analysis of how critical perspectives on disability can inform our work with children, families, and teachers in early childhood settings. Thirty contributors center disability and prioritize children's perspectives across a variety of contexts, including Head Start, community-based centers, public school classrooms, and home visiting. This one-of-a-kind book argues that a focus on disability and ableism is necessary for countering traditional developmental perspectives and oppressive notions of "normalcy" to cultivate freedom and belonging for marginalized young children." -Back cover
