Document Summary

Key principle behind the trend toward integration of people with exceptionalities into society is normalization. Normalization: a philosophical belief in special education that even individual, even the most exceptional and living environment as close to normal as possible. Controversies have involved deinstitutionalization, self-determination, full inclusion. Cause more children with disabilities to be raised by their families. Lead to increasing recognition that people with and without exceptionalities have the right to exercise self-determination. The ability to make personal choices, regulate one"s own life, and be a self-advocate; a prevailing philosophy in education programming for persons with an intellectual disability. Person- centred planning: planning for person"s self-determination; planning activities and services based on a person"s dreams, aspirations, interests, preferences, strengths, and capacities. All students with exceptionalities are placed in their neighborhood schools in general education classrooms for the entire day; general education teachers have the primary responsibility for students with exceptionalities.
