Everyone belongs : mainstream education for children with severe learning difficulties

To celebrate the onset of Valuing People we have the long awaited reprint of this sell out book that challenges the fabric and very existence of special schools.

It also challenges the wider culture and enforced structure of separate living that special schools imposes upon children and their families.

Ken Jupp describes a pilot scheme where children with severe learning disabilities were given the opportunity to attend a local mainstream school.

The scheme was so successful that the Local Education Authority is closing the special school and revising its entire education service.

Lively and forthright this book applies the ideology of inclusion to education and offers positive suggestions for an alternative where all children can learn together at their own pace with equal opportunity and with equal value.
