Challenges and opportunities in using digital literacy to facilitate learning for students with disabilities
Progress on deinstitutionalisation and the development of community living for persons with disabilities in Europe
Following the publication of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability, the rights and situation of people with disabilities have once again become a focus of national, European and international policy and advocacy. Mansell et al., (2007 Mansell, J., M. Knapp, J. Beadle-Brown, and J. Beecham. 2007. “Deinstitutionalisation and Community Living—Outcomes and Costs: Report of a European Study.” Vol 2: Main Report. University of Ke…
What matters while assessing quality of social services? Stakeholders’ perspective in Czechia
Kvalita veřejných služeb, včetně sociálních služeb je tématem často diskutovaným mezi tvůrci sociálních politik, poskytovateli sociálních služeb a těmi, kteří zastupují uživatele služeb. Cílem této studie bylo zjistit, jak respondenti – zástupci veřejné správy, poskytovatelé sociálních služeb a uživatelé vnímají kvalitu sociálních služeb, se zvláštním zaměřením na to: (1) co hodnotí respondenti jako důležité; (2) jaká je relativní vnímaná důležit…
Role of resource centres in facilitating inclusive education
This article focuses on access of students with disabilities to education in Ethiopia and, in particular, on the role of inclusive education resource centres (IERCs). A mixed-methods approach was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The participants were school administrators, itinerant teachers, special educators, regular classroom teachers, and school directors. It was identified that a large number of students and teachers b…
Social Inclusion through Community Living
This article draws on the findings of the EU Framework 7 project DISCIT to explore the living situation of people with disabilities a decade after the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in nine European countries representing different welfare state models and different stages in the process of deinstitutionalisation. A review of the research literature, policy and available statistics was combined with inter…
Pathways to inclusion in European higher education systems
This paper presents biographical data from the European Science Foundation-project Quali-TYDES, a collaborative research study underway since 2010 at universities from Ireland, Austria, Spain and the Czech Republic. The project analysed accounts of the experiences of persons with disabilities, most aged between 20 and 30. It is a generation educated in a time of radical policy shifts in the educational sector in all involved countries. This paper…
An exploration of student teachers’ perspectives at the start of a post-graduate master's programme on inclusive and special education
In this article we explore the perspectives of a group of teaching professionals starting a post-graduate master's programme on inclusive and special education. Set in the current context of growing interest over the preparation of teachers for inclusive education worldwide, this exploration is part of research that looks more broadly at the impact of the programme on students. In this paper we set the context of the study and present results foc…
Paving the way through mainstream education
There has been much debate around the role of parents in supporting their disabled children in mainstream schools. Several authors have pointed to parents’ advocacy and their engagement with professionals. Parents often perceived mainstream settings as fostering better social and academic learning for their offspring. However, while parents’ perspectives on ‘inclusive education’ have been subject to considerable research, relatively little is kno…
From vision to reality
The aim of this article is to consider the practical implications of international collaborative partnerships between and within higher education institutions (HEIs) in terms of the development of an international programme in Special Needs Education as well as its implementation. We first look at the heavy institutional demands set within national boundaries and their associated quality assurance procedures. We argue that contextualising these d…
Attitudes towards disability and inclusion in Bangladesh
Along with the development of global consciousness, the campaign for an inclusive society is gaining momentum. An inclusive society based on social justice ensures individual rights and social welfare for each and everybody. On the contrary, the conventional disability paradigm categorizes people with many different labels which exclude people from society. For many years, people have been labelled as being ‘normal’, ‘disabled’ and ‘handicapped’ …
From ‘cage beds’ to inclusion
In the Czech Republic, individuals with intellectual disabilities continue to be institutionalized in large, remote, state‐run institutions and as a result are isolated from community interaction. Some practices associated with these institutions are coming to be seen as human rights violations. Although non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) offer alternatives to institutionalization, demand for such services exceeds supply. Czech legal structure…
