Integrating Disabled Citizens into the Community.

Agness, Phyllis J.

Educational Horizons, v59 n3 p150-53 Spr 1981

The most significant barrier to the integration of the disabled is the lack of acceptance and understanding by nondisabled persons. Educators must strive not only to train the disabled for independent living, but to teach acceptance of human differences to the nondisabled. (Part of a theme issue on mainstreaming.) (Author/SJL)
