Earning the Right:
The Story of INREAL
The history of an innovative method for helping young children bloom into oral communication and social connection.
This video recounts how educators at the University of Colorado, Boulder, helped spark a revolution in early childhood education focused on speech and language. CU’s INREAL training program was instrumental in breaking out of the confines of the behavior-modification regimens of the 1960s and into a more child-centered, observation-based, humane teaching program. This video captures the origins of INREAL through interviews with its founders and examines how the method has matured into a multi-disciplinary approach to educating young children and training educators.
