Abstract
Origins of the criterion of the next environment (CNE) are examined as a basis for reevaluating its continued applicability to the field of early childhood special education, particularly as it relates to mainstreaming and integration of young children with disabilities. Particular attention is given to changes in public kindergarten classrooms and the relationship of these changes to CNE. Current positions are made explicit, particularly the commitment to integrated education for all students with disabilities, collaborative partnerships, and the need for instructional supports. Implications of CNE for the 1990s are discussed.Keywords
