“The idea of "Normalization" is essentially a philosophy which promotes that all individuals with mental ‘retardation’, have the inherent right and should be provided the provisions, to live a life as close as possible to the patterns of mainstream society.
These individuals deserve our help to look and behave in a way that is appropriate for one's culture, of similar characteristics such as age and sex.”

The basis and logic of the normalization principle, Bengt Nirje, Sixth International Congress of
IASSMD, Toronto, 1982

Integration and Normalization

01

Normalization

The process of normalization can be instrumental in helping individuals attain complete independence, social integration, and preventing social rejection.

02

Home

Normal locations and normal size homes will give residents better opportunities for successful integration with their communities.

03

Routine

A normal rhythm (day, week, month), a range of choices, wishes, and desires respected and considered, and the right to normal economic standards.
