[Integration of the physically handicapped into a regular school (author's transl)]

Owing to manifold changes in the external conditions of the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Schule and the rehabilitation centre "Lichtenau" as well as the shift of emphasis in society's attitudes vis-a-vis the disabled, it seemed necessary to prepare a further report on the experiences gained with this school experiment in Hessisch-Lichtenau. A short survey of the school's personnel and facilities as well as the organisational structure of the co-operation between these two institutions is followed by a detailed description of the underlying paedagogical conception and the tasks resulting from it. Despite existing limitations and numerous difficulties it can be said that this school experiment has yielded positive results. This is evidenced by the impressive number of physically handicapped people who have left this school with a qualifying examination and are now--as far as it is known--in gainful employment. These figures and the public education efforts carried out by the rehabilitation centre have given rise to the setting up of similar facilities. The article closes with a report on a training programme developed on behalf of the Hessen Minister of Cultural Affairs, which is intended to provide all student teachers working at general schools a basic knowledge in special education.
