최근 세계화․다양화되는 지구촌에서 장애는 더 이상 개인의 개별적인 문제가 아니라 개인의 다양 한 특성으로 인식되어져야 하며, 장애인에 대한 고 정관념과 부정적인 시각을 긍정적으로 변화시켜야 한다는 데에 사회적으로 공감하고 있다. 이러한 사 회적 흐름은 장애 정도에 관계없이 모든 유아에게 균등한 교육의 기회를 제공하는 통합교육을 강조 하고 있다. 통합교육은 장애유아와 또래유아 모두 가 서로의 다양성을 인정하고 장애의 정도나 종류 에 관계없이 일반학급에서 함께 교육하는 것으로, 상호작용과 의사소통을 통한 지속적인 ‘행함’의 과 정을 통하여 이루어진다(김성애, 1997).
