The United States Congress and the individual states are now placing high priorities on supplying school facilities for the handicapped. This book is a comprehensive synthesis of what is unique and different about exceptional children and youth, of what modes of teaching and learning are necessary for their instruction, and of what contributions planning and design of physical environment and facilities can make to maximize their education and rehabilitation. Guidelines are offered for the inclusion of handicapped children in the regular school, as well as for the optimum development of handicapped children in separate schools, where that is appropriate.
