Overview
This carefully updated new edition of a core New Zealand text on disability and education continues to emphasise inclusive, learner-centred, needs-based education. The book provides an ideal resource for courses in special education and for teachers in schools. The book emphasises New Zealand research and perspectives, alongside relevant and comprehensive international material. Case studies are incorporated to provide examples for the theoretical constructs.
- Twenty five contributors and Foreword by Professor Evans of international renown in psychology and education.
- A distinguishing feature of the text is that it describes the evolution and delivery of special education services in Aotearoa New Zealand, giving an up-to-date description of the policies and new initiatives that have been set up to support a diverse range of students.
- Part I of this new edition examines the various discourses that are used to understand disability and education.
- Part II examines various forms of collaboration in special education and how these have shaped and supported the creation of more inclusive practices.
- Part III focuses on some specific areas (such as vision and hearing) through exploring particular learners' needs and teaching implications of each.
