An international sampling of children with special education needs give their views on teachers, lessons, parents, schools, changing schools, feeling different, friends and enemies, fun and games, getting into trouble, and being assessed by special education professionals. Special education professionals from Britain then suggest how their colleagues might make use of the material both to design programs and to relate to individuals in classrooms.

The integration of children with special educational needs was a crucial issue for the 1990s. Many countries were reassessing and reorganising their systems of provision in the light of legislation to provide entitlement for all. There was noticeable worldwide trend away from entirely separate provision for learners with special educational needs. At the same time there was no agreement on how exactly they should be integrated with other students. The reader will gain a clear understanding of educational provision, the societal forces that push for greater integration and the attitudes that promote or hinder educational success.

This book examines current provision in the teaching of reading for children at Key Stage 2 who are experiencing difficulties. Using innovative methods which avoid traditional structured approaches, dramatically better results can be achieved.
