Abstract
Integration of the handicapped child into the mainstream of society is a concept now heading toward the hurdle of implementation. It is intermeshed with other societal ferments, interplays between personalization and depersonalization, consumerism and professionalism, central authority and local autonomy, Federal activity in the area of the education of the handicapped has been increasing since the enactment of The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, generated from President Kennedy's panel on mental retardation. A synergism between local control and central guidelines has been sought. Title III of that Act provided for the allocation of funds to be used to support special instruction and equipment for "persons who are handicapped."
