title: [Handicapped children and children at risk for handicaps in Bavarian integrated kindergartens--initial results of a survey].
abstract: The survey "integrative preschool education - an inquiry in Bavarian preschools/kindergartens" aimed to obtain a representative picture of the situation of handicapped children in regular preschool settings - as opposed to special institutions. In this paper we present information regarding distribution among different group-sizes as well as different defining/diagnosing systems. We also investigated the influence of certain ecological conditions such as size of place where the preschool is situated and distance between preschool and the nearest special institution. Furthermore we gained insight into the conditions which hinder and those which promote the admission of handicapped children.
