Providing Early Intervention Services in Integrated Environments: Challenges and Opportunities for the Future.
McLean, Mary; Hanline, Mary Frances
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v10 n2 p62-77 Sum 1990
The paper reviews trends in the integration of young disabled children and proposes replacement of the traditional concept of least restrictive environment as a continuum of placement with a concept of integration opportunities determined by individual child needs, family needs, and community resources. The need for integrated service delivery systems is stressed. (Author/DB)
