  • Title: Governmental policy and personal experiences. The development towards integration of mobility disabled students into regular schools in Scandinavia.
    Author: Solvang P, Barron K, Ravneberg B.
    Journal: Dynamis; 1993; 13():117-37. PubMed ID: 11639586.
    Abstract:
    The Scandinavian countries have been among the leading countries with regard to integration into society for persons with disabilities. This article focuses on two intimately related questions concerning the reform: 1) How did the normalization principle, as governmental policy, intend to improve the living-situation for people with disabilities? 2) How was the reform experienced by some disabled persons who attended compulsory school during its introduction? Our sources are: a) central government documents and reports concerning integration of mobility disabled persons in Norway and Sweden; b) 40 life history interviews with mobility disabled persons in Scandinavia born between 1955 and 1965. The interviews are theme centered upon experiences in education and work.
