special needs is placed in a normal school.
•A child with special needs attends normal
school just like any other child.
•In integrated educational set-ups, the children
are placed in pre-existing system.
•School may not have the requirements as per
child’s needs before admission.

physical reasons
•All round development of child is important
•In some integrated educational set-ups
arrangements are made for the special
facilities
•But, only after children with special needs are
admitted.
•Thus schools in which integration takes place
may not have all the essential facilities

2)Full integration
Partial integration: the child would study partly in a
special school and partly in a regular school.
Full integration: the child would study only in the
regular school.
Full integration has also been termed as inclusive
education.
In these set-ups, some modifications in the classroom
or school physical structure are required
