Episode Synopsis

with Corinne G. Catalano, PhD, IMH-E®, Montclair State UniversityIn this inspiring episode, Dr. Corrine Catalano joins us to talk about what truly makes early childhood education transformative: inclusion, intention, and a spark of curiosity. We explore how high-quality, inclusive preschool programs create long-term educational success for children with disabilities—when we meet kids where they are and build from their strengths.Dr. Catalano breaks down the tiers of support and how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) creates accessible environments where every child can thrive. We also dig into developmentally based approaches that honor children’s natural interests, helping them grow and engage without the need for bribes or compliance-based systems.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes that all children deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated from the start.Just Give Them The WhaleDr. Corinne Catalano
