ABSTRACT
Those of us who have based our careers around the support and education of young people with special educational needs (SEN) have seen far-reaching changes in our understandings and hopes for the children we serve. Many of the writers who have contributed to this book are based in special schools which might once have been seen as separatist or non-integrated provision. It is evident from the experiences and understandings they share here that a special school now is quite different from those often or twenty years ago.
