Abstract
Recommendations for achieving integration into the mainstream community for infants and toddlers with special needs based on experiences in a large early intervention program are presented. These recommendations include making a philosophic commitment to integration, broadening early intervention program options to include regular community services while re-examining existing program options with the commitment to integration in mind, shifting the roles of early interventionists from primary service providers to consultants when working with families as well as with community programs, and providing information and support to families to facilitate their central role in their child's life.
