An account is presented of a 6-year-old British girl with Down Syndrome and the efforts of her parents to have her integrated into a regular school rather than segregate her from "normal" society in a special school. Discussed are: the girl's experience at a playgroup of nonhandicapped children; the attitudes and opinions of the parents and of local education authority personnel; the decision-making process which determined the child's placement in a regular infant school; the school staff's adjustment to integration; and the child's progress in intellectual, social, and behavioral domains.
