Abstract
Successful transitions of preschool children with handicaps to integrated preschools or kindergartens may be promoted by teachers who know the setting characteristics and behavioral demands of future mainstream environments. This article summarizes research findings on teachers' classroom organization, behavioral characteristics of most and least independent children in mainstream settings, and differences in the instructional environment between mainstream and special preschools.Keywords
