Fully including children with disabilities is a required element of the Head Start / Early Head Start program. This initiative is beneficial to all involved: children with and without disabilities, parents of children with and without disabilities, and staff members. Head Start / Early Head Start ensures that at least 10 percent of all children enrolled include children with disabilities. Classrooms are modified to accommodate the needs of children with disabilities and teachers individualize the curriculum in order to meet the needs of all children.
