Living with Glue Ear
There has been limited research on understanding the educational implications for young people with intermittent hearing impairment resulting from Glue Ear (Otitis Media). Increasingly, there is recognition that it can have longer term academic and social implications (Wilson 2009). It tends to be constructed as a temporary situation curable through grommet surgery so much of the research has been conducted from a medical perspective. Parental pr…

Charitable provision for blind people and deaf people in late nineteenth century London
In nineteenth century England much charitable activity was directed towards the relief of poverty, but such provision developed significantly to support a variety of requirements. Although from the eighteenth century onwards there were instances of co-operation between voluntary charitable effort and the state, governments in the early and mid Victorian era tended to be cautious about intervention. During this period and beyond, voluntary provisi…
I wasn't trained to work with them
Approximately one-eighth of early school-aged children in the UK have speech and language difficulties. Many such children are now being educated in mainstream settings. However, there is a dearth of up-to-date and valid research that considers UK (student) teachers' attitudes towards such children. Two hundred and sixty-eight trainee teachers (PGCE students) from Manchester were given two questionnaires, containing both closed and open questions…

Not Worth Keeping Alive? News framing of physician-assisted suicide in the United States and Great Britain
This essay seeks to analyse and understand the news framing of a major issue for disabled people in the late twentieth century - physician-assisted suicide. We argue that news frames within the coverage of physician-assisted suicide present narratives that ignore or devalue disability issues. The US disability rights movement has created an oppositional frame to mainstream media presentations, arguing that physician-assisted suicide has been "pre…
Stalling the learning process
This article will describe some of the challenges associated with running an online class as part of a conventional face-to-face environment. The course is experiential and reflective and looks to develop high levels of interdependence. Aspects of the course can be negotiated and we responded to students' requests to include computer-mediated communication as part of the programme. The obvious home for this was the sessions devoted to group dynam…
The importance of reflection in experiential learning with community and youth workers for the learning age
The New Labour government, in its Green Paper on the Learning Age, published in February 1998, put lifelong learning at the heart of its programme. In this article we aim to demonstrate that there is a direct parallel between the processes outlined in the Green Paper and the processes of experiential learning and community development by focusing on the Diploma in Community and Youth Work Studies run by the Community Work Unit (CWU) based in the …
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…
