Special Education Needs - A new look

Mary Warnock's engagement with special educational needs dates back to the mid-1970s when she chaired an influential government commission on the subject, whose recommendations have become part of official policy. Here she revisits the key issues such as inclusion, and sides with critics calling for a reconsideration, c9ommenting that a refusal to address genuine differences may undermine attempts to meet the needs of all children. Will be of interest primarily to those involved in education.
