The aim is to provide accounts which do not shirk from describing "failures" as well as "successes" and which reflect the general "messiness" of this kind of work. They are written as "stories" from the point of view of an educational psychologist who regards himself as a critical reflective practitioner whose professional practice is grounded in a democratic, inclusive philosophy. The methodology of the book draws on the qualitative research tradition in social science and education, in particular ethnography and action research, and makes a unique contribution to the role of "storying" in this kind of research. The author feels that his approach represents a challenge to conventional constraints on research in his own profession which prevent the development of a more open dialogue about the role and purpose of psychological interventions to promote inclusion. The worked examples of practical strategies in mainstream provide insights which should be of interest to all support professionals, teachers, educationalists and others concerned with inclusion of pupils described as having "special educational needs"."--Jacket Analysis onderwijs education onderwijsbeleid educational policy sociale wetenschappen social sciences Education (General) Onderwijs (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-182) and index Notes Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Inclusive education -- England, Northern Students with disabilities -- Education -- England, Northern School psychology -- England, Northern Students with social disabilities -- Education -- England, Northern At-risk youth -- Functional assessment -- England, Northern EDUCATION -- Inclusive Education.
