Abstract
In 1972, Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger, a renowned American social scientist produced his classic work The principle of normalisation in human services. The principle has become a cornerstone of Government funded services to intellectually disabled children in Victoria. This article presents developments in Wolfensberger's most recent thoughts on normalisation.
