At the STEM Innovation for Inclusion in Early Education (STEMI2E2) center, one of the first tasks we did was to take a look at what kind of research evidence exists in STEM learning and young children with disabilities. We conducted a scoping review and found that a majority of the references were related to children of preschool age (3-4 years old). Very few discussed infants/toddlers and children with disabilities. This review process showed STEMIE that evidence-based practices in STEM learning with young children with disabilities is a growing field and that there is an urgent need for additional knowledge development to take place.
