Abstract
After several years, the integration of preschoolers with severe disabilities remains a controversial issue. Integration is a complex and active process involving more than merely placing the children together in the same room. Many early childhood special educators are open to the inclusion of preschoolers with mild to moderate disabilities, but are not as willing to include children with severe disabilities because of the perception of extensive modifications. In this article we discuss a rationale for and benefits of integration of preschoolers with severe disabilties. Possible strategies for effective integration and future issues are also highlighted. The relevant research question is no longer why, but how.
