ABSTRACT

These activities are interdependent to some degree: one is not likely to create transport facilities or modify school buildings without some form of funding, or to develop new teacher training programmes or teaching programmes for students with special needs in regular education if statutory regulations hinder the admission of these students to regular education, and statutory regulations will not change unless attitudes in society change. This interdependence between the several factors is basically what Kobi (1983) expresses in his model. Kobi specifies a number of levels in a process, levels that build upon each other: entering a new level does not imply that the components of earlier levels can be discarded.
