Including Children with Visual Impairment in Mainstream Schools

First Published in 2003

This book provides guidance to teachers, teaching assistants, service staff, parents and other professionals regarding the inclusion of children with visual impairments in mainstream primary schools.

Rich and detailed case studies of inclusion in four schools are used to enable the development of an understanding that is grounded in the contexts and circumstances of real schools.

Whilst focus is on children with visual impairments, many of the themes running through the book hold resonance in relation to thinking about the inclusion of other children with special educational needs.
