18
Q

Mainstreaming (integration model):

  • Regular placement while still providing specialized services
  • On an individual basis following assessment
19
Q

What are the disadvantages of mainstreaming?

A
  • Often applied inappropriately because of lack of planning or specialized staff
  • Used as a “dumping ground for disability”, people with more severe disability tend to not get enough attention for their cases. (no proper planning or support)
20
Q

Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) (integration model):

A
  • matches abilities with services
  • many placement options and services
  • movement up or down the spectrum depending on readiness (based on level of needs)
  • designed for all people, not just those with mild intellectual impairments
21
