From the abstract: "There is a STEM learning opportunity gap for young children with disabilities. Despite research demonstrating that high-quality, inclusive environments benefit all learners, many early childhood educators lack the training and confidence to implement inclusive practices, particularly in STEM education. This chapter introduces a professional development model designed to support teachers in implementing inclusive STEM pedagogy and recognizing ableism in their STEM teaching. A key component of this program provided teachers with opportunities to apply and refine new strategies in real-world settings."
