Innovation for Inclusion
STEM Opportunities for Young Children with Disabilities
Our Partnership
Douglas Clements and Julie Sarama from DU's Marsico Institute for Early Learning worked with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's STEM Innovation for Inclusion in Early Education Center to increase inclusion, opportunities and engagement with STEM topics among young children with disabilities.
We believe the research and ingenuity achieved through collaborations like this are needed to influence policy and improve lives for children with disabilites and their families.
About Our Research
We leverage cross-institutional collaboration to address some of today’s most pressing challenges, producing interdisciplinary solutions that influence policymakers to effectively serve the public good. From Stanford to UChicago to NYU, we’ve refined our collaborative process through years of mutually beneficial relationships with institutions nationwide to understand and address challenges like climate change, HIV and youth homelessness.
DU’s current research efforts have been featured in news outlets like The New York Times. They include…
- exploring the effects of felony disenfranchisement.
- employing lasers as the medium for quantum science.
- using theatre to heal and rehabilitate inmates.
