At the time of original publication, special education in
Britain was permeated by an ideology of benevolent humanitarianism
and this is ostensibly the moral framework within which the
professionals teachers, educational psychologists, medical officers
operate. The author widens the debate about special education by
introducing sociological perspectives and considering the
structural relationships that are produced both within the system
and in the wider society when part of a mass education system
develops separately, as special rather than normal. She outlines
the origin and development of special education, stressing the
conflicts involved and the role played by vested interests, and
criticizes the current rhetoric of special needs . Among the issues
and dilemmas that she identifies, the problems of selection,
assessment, integration and the curriculum for special schools are
discussed in details, and the position of parents, pupils and
teachers within the system is examined. The author gives particular
attention in a separate chapter to the problems and position of
ethnic minorities.
