Opening Doors: Learning Support in Higher Education (Special Needs in Ordinary Schools)

Opening Doors examines a wide range of initiatives for learning support in higher education. The book encompasses special needs and disability policy and provision, and provides case study examples based in a number of 'new' universities. The concerns of the case studies range from direct practical improvement of facilities to study skills and specific learning programmes, peer support, personal tuition and the appointment of designated staff. These initiatives are set in national and international contexts. Learning support provision is one positive response to the challenges facing higher education and all those planning and implementing quality education for the next millennium.

The author of this text argues that special educational needs are constantly being recreated and vary dramatically for geographical or social reasons. She discusses the development of special education needs theory, its varying characterizations and the socio-economic forces which are shaping special needs thinking for the future. Comparative international examples are provided, and there is an analysis of popular culture's depiction of special education needs learners.

Special Educational Needs in the Twentieth Century: A Cultural Analysis (Institute of Education)

For disabled people and people with learning difficulties the transition from school to college, work and training can be stressful and frustrating. Job choices are often restricted, and they face barriers which are beyond their control. This book is about their struggle for choice, setting special needs in further education in a socio-political context. The book focuses on the notion of "transition to adulthood" for students with special educational needs, exploring it in terms of class, race, gender and disability differences and relating it to social, economic and political influences. The book analyzes employment opportunities, education and training choices and possible degrees of community participation, addressing the problems encountered by both students and those staff who support them. Its distinctive approach recognizes discrimination and challenges stereotyping. The book is intended to confront complacency, encourage dialogue and debate and suggests ways forward in what the authors perceive is a difficult struggle for choice. Each chapter includes a set of questions which can be used as the basis for discussion.

Bad Mouthing: The Language Of Special Needs

The power of language is overwhelming and this is shown in the way in which words are used to define, portray and explain people and situations. With this in mind, then, it is interesting to note how the language of "special needs" has always been composed of words and images which foster fear, mistrust, loathing and hostility - "idiot", "imbecile" and "moron" are frequently used as terms of abuse.; Whilst there has been considerable theorizing on the psychological and sociological aspects of special education, as well as a recognition of the influence of policies and politics, there has not yet been a concerted attempt to analyze the way in which language is used to create codes and images. This general lack of interest may be because semantics seem peripheral to special education: the focus has rather been on individual case studies, teaching programmes, legislation and practice.; Jenny Corbett, however, has a particular interest in the language of special needs. Over the past few years she has explored: the ways in which new discourses have emerged to challenge those of enlightened modernity; the political correctness of special needs language in the mid-1990s; and the ways in which imagery is changing as proud labels displace the legacy of negativity. In this book the author brings together the findings of these explorations as she looks at where the language of special needs has emerged from, where it seems to be going at present and what is likely to become of it in the near future. In order to more fully understand why some learners are marginalised and given an inferior status, says Jenny Corbett, it is important to explore the way in which language has been used.
