Inclusive education and school culture
This paper explores the relationship between concepts of inclusive education and the school culture of late 1990s Britain. It begins by establishing what the concept of culture might imply within the traditions of British society and the social climate of schooling. Inclusive educational issues concerning pedagogy and curriculum content are related toother settings by drawing examples of inclusive classroom cultures from the American context. The…
The contribution of special education to our understanding of values, schooling and the curriculum
This article presents an analysis of how special education contributes to our contemporary understanding of educational values, schooling and the curriculum. We argue that special education is not simply and only a separate part of education, it is inherently connected to all aspects of education. This connective position is contrasted with the recurrent view that the full range of educational needs can be separated out neatly into the majority w…
Include/exclude
This paper examines the role of inclusive and exclusive education policies in a market economy. It explores the concepts of ‘include’ and ‘exclude’ by using a post‐modernist deconstruction approach, allowing for plurality of discourses
Teaching Special Needs
This paper explores the relationship between life-long learning and a career in teaching. The focus is upon special education and the way in which special educators perceive their role. It is also about the distinct stages of a teaching career, from the process of initiation to later reflections and decisions to alter practice and philosophical positions. In the discussion, growth of self as a teacher and a learner is explored within the context …
Special Needs and Client Rights
This paper explores the ways in which the study of special educational needs has developed and changed in the last decade and a half of policy‐making in education. It focuses upon key theoretical changes and the shift of emphasis in substantive concerns. In relation to theoretical issues, the changes have involved an increased focus upon social and political values guiding educational provision rather than on the specific explanatory disciplines …
A Proud Label
This paper draws parallels between disability politics and the gay pride movement, in order to illustrate how different minority groups share experiences in common whilst retaining distinct qualities. Through exploring this relationship, issues such as normalisation, passing and challenging prejudice will be presented in a wider context. The social model of disability will be applied to experiences within the gay and lesbian community and the exp…
From Vocationalism to Enterprise
In this paper we address Cohen's (1985) argument in “Against the New Vocationalism” by broadening the debate into an examination of how generic skills have gained a wider application with the emergence of new technology and structural enonomic change. In order to demonstrate the extent of this development, we include examples from training programmes in social and life skills for young people with learning difficulties and examine the Enterprise …
Individual Rights in Further Education
In this paper we argue that the language of entitlement and empowerment is not always matched by correspondingly equitable actions but can sometimes be used to subvert equality of opportunity. We apply this argument to recent developments in the area of further education and the provision for students with disabilities and learning difficulties. Our concern is essentially with the rights of individuals rather than with institutional policy and pr…
A Shared Presentation
In this paper we share our collaborative experience of making a video in which disabled women present their lives as they wish to portray them. We undertook what we hope will be perceived as emancipatory research, in which disabled and non-disabled women work together to create audio-visual teaching materials. We include a preliminary discussion about the representation of disability on British television broadcasts between October 1991 and March…
The Changing Context of Further Educational Provision
In this paper we examine how the changing context of further educational provision is influencing the practice of one group of lecturers. These are the ‘special needs’, or ‘learning support’, co‐ordinators, whose responsibilities include supporting students with disabilities or learning difficulties as well as developing skills in staff management and negotiating for resources
Careful Teaching
In this paper I examine one specific stage of my career development, the period from 1977 to 1982, when I was teaching in a special care unit for young people with profound learning difficulties. Reflecting on what I learnt in this context, I discuss what constitutes ‘significant’ teaching and learning. In describing my own experience in a caring role, I evaluate what I gained from this as a teacher and researcher in higher education. As a female…

From Acquaintance to Friendship
Watching and Listening
The medical model of disability has been much criticised in recent years and the traditional power of the doctor to diagnose, direct practice and provide services is now being challenged. Paediatricians have been accused of making crude assessments of potential ability in children, damaging the quality of family life in the process. Yet, the Cleveland affair admits ambiguities in the public perception of paediatricians. Are they to be advocates f…
The Quality of Life in the ‘Independence’ Curriculum
The move towards community care as a humane alternative to institutional provision has brought complications in its wake. Integration, both into community living and into mainstream education, has generally entailed an elaborate process of the selection of those most easily assimilated. I am concerned to examine the opportunities available for those young people who are often rejected within the integration movement, yet who find themselves the r…
