Abstract
A design guide for mainstreaming handicapped children in educational facilities. Based on a user-oriented programming process and existing research literature, 18 design principles are advanced for helping physically disabled and mildly retarded children cope with school facilities. Design principles suggest the important characteristics of environments hypothesized to promote children's interaction, positive self-image, confidence, accessibility and academic development.
