Understanding Head Start teachers' knowledge of teaching students with special needs in an inclusive environment can create positive social change that could lead to more pre-service education or professional development offered to these teachers. Early childhood students with special needs and Head Start teachers can benefit from this research because the results provide knowledge on working with students with special needs. Not only would it benefit the Head Start teachers and students directly, but it would be a turning point for the Head Start organization to offer more inclusion-directed training for their educators.
