Drifting towards Segregation.
Budgell, Phil
British Journal of Special Education, v13 n3 p94-95 Sep 1986
Information collected in Sheffield (England) showed that all preschool-age Down's syndrome children were integrated in mainstream educational settings, while 70 percent of the secondary students (ages 13-16) were placed in special schools. Reasons for the trend are explored, including the structure, organization, and curriculum of primary as compared to secondary schools. (Author/JW)
