[Current educational practices with multiply handicpped pupils -- a problematic approach in special education...

The curricula of schools for the physically handicapped have, as yet, been influenced too much by those of regular schools. Which is why at special schools, too, the primary focus of all educational and therapeutic measures is placed on a qualification of the pupils. Also those pupils who, as a result of the severity of their disability, will not be able to enter vocational training are instructed on the basis of curricula modelled for the non-disabled. The purpose of the following article is to introduce this problem complex which has been present for years but not yet received satisfactory solutions. It is hoped that the described experiences gained with the three groups of pupils will stimulate the discussion.
