Early childhood inclusion

At CYDA, we advocate for full inclusion of children with disability in early childhood education and care.

Submissions, research and reports

An important part of the work we do at CYDA is making submissions to government and policy makers. In our submissions, we make recommendations for changes to uphold the rights, and improve the wellbeing, of children and young people with disability.
