Thought-provoking and provocative, the book gives both sides of the story, exploring educational values and teaching practices as well as the personal and family stories of children with SEN. It covers:? All sectors of education, from mainstream primary and secondary schools to special day and residential schools? Issues that have been raised by the mother-teachers' experiences ?
