| description | Over the past few years in Singapore, children with different disabilities have been integrated within regular schools. Since 1996 specific programmes have been set up which seek to integrate children with physical disabilities and autism. These programmes have received support from the Government.

This segregation is an opposing trend to the integration movement. Pre-service teachers are one of the principal stakeholders in the move towards non-segregation/integration of children with mild/moderate disabilities. |
