Childcare providers' comfort levels working with children that have special needs will increase if they have special needs in-service trainings. This research study focused on how childcare providers’ education and training affect their comfort level and attitudes about inclusion. Most participants reported prior work experience with children with special needs and high comfort levels working within an inclusive environment. This research concluded that if family childcare and childcare center providers attended special needs in-service trainings (one or more trainings) there was a statistically significant increase in their comfort level and willingness to work in an inclusive childcare setting. 2010 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1288920491 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1288920491 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
