Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This paper discusses community playgroup and preschool settings for non-disabled children as programme options for infants and preschoolers with a variety of physical and mental impairments. These options provide age-appropriate integration experiences which may result in benefits to parent and child, realistic developmental expectations, and a cultural expectation that social integration is a basic part of any child's education. The discussion identifies advantages to beginning integration before the age of 5 years and emphasizes the need for individualized services, ongoing staff training, support for parents, and programme evaluation. |
