This work addresses one of the greatest challenges faced by education in recent years - to adapt teaching practices in order to accommodate children with special needs. This book presents an analysis of these challenges, and reports on the ways in which schools are developing innovatory responses to them. It then studies the implications of these for schools, in terms of classroom practice, professional development and the relationship of the school with its environment. It also looks at the history of the integration of special needs pupils into mainstream schools.

Schools and Special Needs: Issues of Innovation and Inclusion

In Schools and Special Needs, the authors provide a critical perspective on the dominant `inclusion′ model of special needs education, in terms of implementation in schools and effectiveness of pupil learning outcomes. They take issues with the major advocates of the inclusion model and argue that a different way of understanding special educational needs in mainstream schools is both possible and necessary. The authors, who are eminent in the special needs field, use up-to-date material to develop a new model for special education in schools.
