'This is a timely addition to the UK literature as it presages the Government's vision on the future of special schools and will provide many readers with the information they need to set out on a similar path ... In sum, this is a useful book and welcome addition to the literature on inclusive education.' - Educational Review' ... a detailed and engaging book which does much to demystify and clarify issues in the integration/inclusion debate. The use of case study embedded in a rich general narrative makes this book particularly accessible.' - Special Children
