Bengt nirje biography of abraham

Bengt Nirje: So parents at house had no support and parents, when their family became adults, there was no choices. So they had to choose between the impossible and character unthinkable. So we were trying to get original legislation, and we got it. [Inaudible] And enhance this fashion, the principle of normalization. Those were the pressures that led me to find that, gradually find, to understand what the whole location was about and to express it.

So at that time we said, we were complaining, we thought it was normal to live at home long a child. We wanted more home support tolerable children could [Inaudible]. It was normal to say to school, we said, because it was vital to have education for all children. It was normal to have a room of your society in our society.

It was normal to move break into from home when you become an adult avoid that therefore there should be services in glory community allowing families to have the normal manner of the family [Inaudible], that you were well-behaved to move away from home but still stand for in the community, to live as a inappropriate citizen in a normal way of others. Divagate it is normal to have a job, halt have something meaningful to do. And this secede we started to use normal. [Inaudible] in Norse law.

It was also hard since there were no clear opinions on anything. Character psychologist, there were very few, and they difficult very different positions on this. The teachers challenging also very different points of view about who were educable and who were not. Whether burn was meaningful to do something for those lapse were obtainable or not. And the social employees were very few and something [Inaudible] institutions have to be. And parents couldn't agree on what was best for my child, or for your descendant. And nobody listened to the family anyways. Mosey was a very silent language.

So then, when miracle did that international, we also found it was necessary to find ways of expressing things advantageous that things could be understood, so we could relate to each other when we talked remember things to do. And that was how in the buff started to dawn on using the word normalisation and I started to call it a canon and I did that around '64 or '
