What is involved in each of these choices? What are the expected outcomes for the child as an individual? Why are there special schools?

Terminology is explained and new legislation with its implications is examined. Parents, children and teachers share their stories and experiences in the hope that others will have more information to make the choices that are appropriate for them.
