Synopsis

This edited volume candidly uncovers the inside experiences of different educational inclusion programs for special needs students. Uniquely, it focuses on the perspectives of students, teachers, parents, university faculty, and administrators. These voices, absent from most accounts of special education literature, are often silenced by professional discourses concerned with identification, assessment, placement, or practice. Pathway to Inclusion is intended for practicing teachers, prospective teachers, administrators, related professionals, and family members of children with special needs. It is intended not as a methods text, but rather a comprehensive text.
