Inclusion and Early Childhood: With contributions from theory and practice, this handbook provides a systematic overview of childhood education and inclusion. It creates a comprehensive overview of the various approaches and perspectives on an inclusive childhood. The handbook examines the early childhood phase and investigates relevant childhood education theory and practice in the context of inclusion. This allows for a reflective and complementary exploration of the field. The right to inclusive education cannot simply be implemented as an addition; it requires reflection on educational processes at all levels. The aim of this volume is to focus on childhood as a life phase, identify specific barriers and disadvantages, reflect on the theory and practice of contemporary childhood education, and make it relevant for inclusive education.
