Alur, Mithu
Exceptionality Education Canada, v12 n2-3 p137-67 2002
This article addresses the contextual background of India's Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and examines why the ICDS policy does not refer to individuals with special needs. It concludes that exclusion has been deeply rooted within the socio-political system. Policy shifts promoting sustainable strategies of inclusion are explored. (Contains references.) (CR)
