Integration of Handicapped Children in Society

First published in 1975, this book looks at the place of children with handicaps in society, at that time.

It argues that in the thirty years previous, a great deal of progress was made in the field of rehabilitation but that the separation between handicapped people and the community was still a challenge.

A strong range of contributors discuss approaches to the problem focusing on education, employment, and daily life.

Topics covered include the social aspects of integration, through the problems of the multiple-handicapped child, to a survey of disabled students at universities and polytechnics in Great Britain.
