Abstract
Over the years, given the results obtained from the LPAD, we have been able to convince progressive and, in certain cases, even conservative administrators, teachers, and employers to accept thousands of people with retarded performance into their programs, supporting them with the IE program and other interventions. But, paradoxically, the large number of successes we have had is also a source of frustration and dissatisfaction for us. How much more could be done for large numbers of individuals with retarded performance if more segments of society would change from a passive-acceptant approach to an active-modificational approach.
