Abstract

Increased emphasis on mainstreaming has revealed that some teachers, both early childhood and elementary, are opposed to working with the handicapped. While some of their opposition is due to lack of necessary skills to teach the handicapped, their attitudes also have been shown to contribute to their resistance. Research on ways to improve teachers' skills and attitudes has found inservice training on methods and techniques for working with the handicapped and certain modifications to existing programs and curricula are beneficial. This article discusses the importance of inservice training and program modifications as they relate to mainstreamed early childhood programs.
