The history of people with disabilities has been dominated by their
isolation and exclusion. The long fight towards inclusion - and
inclusive education in particular - started not many years ago.
Most were powerless to control their own destiny. Their
participation in society has been the object of others actions. In
many countries their disability policies have a substantial element
of protection and charity but not the right to equalisation of
opportunities. This book highlights the process of change that is
underway internationally. The equalisation of opportunities
requires new processes through which the various systems of society
such as health services and education are delivered. It means the
right for people with disabilities to remain in their communities
and to receive the schooling and social supports they need within
the ordinary structures available in local communities. Strong
advocacy is needed for this to happen. In particular parents need
to be empowered, communities mobilised and professionals trained in
new ways of working: hence this book. Drawing on experiences in
Africa, the book describes the issues to be considered when it
comes to implementing inclusive strategies: the processes to be
followed and the roles of different sectors, such as people with
disabilities, parents, policy makers, educationalists, health and
community development professionals and crucially, society at
large.
