The World Health Organization and UNICEF
recently published a new paper, Early Childhood Development and
Disability: A Discussion Paper (September 2012). The paper provides an
overview of disability in early childhood and underscores the need
to strengthen and scale up early childhood development initiatives, in
order to ensure that children with disabilities can participate
meaningfully in their homes, schools and communities. It is meant to
encourage international discussion, planning and action on issues
related to disability, early childhood development, and early
intervention. For free access to a pdf version of the discussion paper, click on the read more link!
