Project:
Special Education at the Bottom Line. A Cross-Cultural Study of Special Education Practice
Summary:
This is the fifth of six reports from the project. The report consists of two parts. Part one is a study of special education based on available literature. The second part contains results of interviewing parents, teachers and researchers. When information from the two parts of the study is compared it is found that New Zealand has made a vigorous attempt to develop as special education policy based on principles of inclusion and non-
categorisation. However, this policy may be jeopardised by a number of mechanisms in the field of practice. The study distinguishes a number of difficulties at the practice level and the macro level for the successful implementation of progressive practices.
