Description
This revised edition of Deconstructing Special Education and Constructing Inclusion offers a comprehensive overview of special education, critically examining its intellectual foundations and their influence on professional thinking about learning difficulties.
The book places inclusion within a social and political context, highlighting how concepts have been shaped by theory and ideology over the years. It provides guidance on specific issues such as reading and behavioural difficulties, with theoretically grounded information. The latest edition includes a fresh chapter discussing current research, intersectionality, and increased marketisation in education.
With its updated content, this book reflects the new landscape and legislation of special education, making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals working in the field of inclusive education.
