| Summary |
"In today's climate of accountability in education, there is increasing pressure to demonstrate the effectiveness of inclusion, yet there is much confusion about what inclusion actually does for individuals and their families. This book is for researchers studying inclusion, teacher educators and teachers and is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate teacher education programmes and Masters programmes in inclusive education. In addition this book is a must for people concerned with the 'bigger picture' and with identifying the important consequences of inclusion participation and democracy for young people and their families."--BOOK JACKET |
