Wolfensburger's theory of Normalisation related to the rights of people with a disability to lead "normal" lives, including living with a family, attending a local school, and holding a job in the community.

His later theories became controversial, as he suggested people with disabilities should not be allowed to "deviate" from normality in hair-style, choice of job, or choice of lifestyle.
