About this title

Synopsis

Using case studies and reflection points, this book explores and critically examines the field of Special Education. It provides a detailed introduction aimed at helping students to develop understanding, without assuming any prior knowledge.

The book is divided into three distinct sections:

Section 1 defines the concepts of special needs, SEN and disability, examining how provision is maintained in Britain. It analyses how the development of the concept of disability has been defined through ideological models, and looks at how the attitudes of teachers, parents and non-disabled children have affected the inclusion of disabled children.
Section 2 considers the historical development of SEN and the emergence of inclusive education within England, offering a comparative analysis of the legislation and practices governing its delivery and inclusion within various education systems.
Section 3 examines the major legislation surrounding SEN and inclusive education. It outlines the development of the Every Child Matters Agenda, examining the roles and responsibilities of the education, health and social care professionals involved in delivery.

Combining critical exploration with an overview of future challenges, this timely text enables students to develop a basic knowledge and understanding of the field, leaving them better able to engage in meaningful and informed discussion on the issues surrounding it.
