Supporting young children with disabilities in humanitarian settings

Recognizing and addressing all children's unique needs and acknowledging the influence of social stigma and misconceptions about disability that may lead to underdeveloped potential and social exclusion is vital. To this end, INEE's Early Childhood Development Task Team seeks to advocate for and support the inclusion of young children with disabilities in Early Childhood Development in Emergencies programming. 

This webinar will be moderated by Rosangela Berman Bieler, UNICEF’s Global Advisor on Disability, and will include presentations on foundational concepts for disabilities-inclusive programming, and alternatives to address young children with disabilities needs in a resourceful, creative manner. There will also be time for Q&A.

Panelists:

  • Suzanne Zuidema, Early Childhood Development and Disability-Inclusion specialist, Independent Consultant
  • Fiona Beckerlegge, Executive Director and co-founder, Kyaninga Child Development Centre
  • Deborah Marie Rodríguez García, Senior Manager, Education, Sesame Workshop
