Normalization Theory

Normalization Theory is a concept that aims to ensure people with disabilities have the same opportunities for living, working, and participating in society as those without disabilities. It emphasizes creating environments and services that accommodate individual needs, allowing for a more inclusive society. By focusing on normal life experiences, such as education, relationships, and community involvement, the theory advocates for the removal of barriers and promotes equality, dignity, and respect for all individuals. In essence, it's about making life as 'normal' and fulfilling as possible for everyone, regardless of their challenges.
