Abstract
This paper examines Finnish early childhood special education (ECSE) and how it has been evolving in Finland. The Finnish early childhood education (ECE) provides the context for ECSE. The aim is to study ECSE at the policy, macro-and meso levels; in this case, educational practices in child groups are excluded. The aim is to discuss how the state has guided and how municipalities have implemented ECSE. The material in this study comprises policy-level documents, such as legislation, circulars, or guidelines. This paper overviews a subject concerning which studies are almost non-existent in Finland. The method relies on qualitative content and document analyses. Results are discussed together with ideas on how to further develop this area in Finnish early education.KeywordsFinlandSpecial edcuationEarly childhoodHistory
