Acceptance in Early Childhood: A Study from Turkish Children

Öz:
Acceptance of children with special needs is very important in terms of achieving asuccessful inclusion. Children's acceptance should be assessed in order to see theirneeds and develop effective interventions in the inclusive settings. A total of 161 children between 4 and 7 years old were participated in the study. The children's acceptance levels were examined using the "Acceptance Scale for KindergartnersRevised" (ASK-R). The results revealed that the children in Turkey had low acceptancelevels. It was found that the gender, age, and income level were effective on the children's acceptance levels whereas the parents' education level and having a classmatewith special needs did not significantly affect the acceptance
