Normalizing Early Intervention.

Bailey, Donald B., Jr.; McWilliam, R. A.

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v10 n2 p33-47 Sum 1990

This article describes three dimensions of normalization that extend beyond mainstreaming in the context of early intervention: (1) the physical environment, (2) teaching and therapeutic strategies, and (3) family-focused services. Examples of normalized practices within each dimension are offered, and issues related to normalization are discussed. (Author/DB)
