Synopsis
Inclusion is a buzzword of the 1990s. Politicians now stress their commitment to inclusion and social justice - not competition. For schools, inclusion means accepting and educating all children, irrespective of their difficulties.
The new inclusive mood is about including everyone in society's institutions. It has created a growing demand for schools to find effective ways of including and teaching all children - even those who at one time would have been sent to special schools.
The book combines a theoretical examination of inclusion and its rationale with the story of a group of schools in which teachers, assistants and children have striven to make inclusion happen.

Society's readiness for inclusion coincides with the accumulation of more and more evidence about the limitations of special education. But although the arguments for inclusive education seem overwhelming ethically and empirically the move to inclusion has been painfully slow. After exploring the arguments for inclusion, this book examines the interna-tional evidence of children's well-being and academic progress in inclusive schools. It also describes how those who are in the vanguard of inclusion have gone about developing their practice. The second part of the book presents a detailed case study of one special school's confrontation with exclusion and its transformation from a special school into an inclusion service a project which involved closing the special school and moving its children to a group of m.
