Abstract
Normalization, which underlines mainstreaming, is widely accepted in paediatric rehabilitation, but its success depends on the availability of special services, including proper technical aids for day care and school. This study aimed to evaluate the need for and use of technical aids in various forms of day care and education. Handicapped children used basic technical aids. In day care children needed more technical aids to promote independent mobility and playing, and in school they needed more computers and adaptations and software for these computers. The arrangement of technical aids for handicapped children requires good cooperation between the children's parents and various professionals.Keywords
