For the past 50 years, there has been increasing consideration and debate about how to best educate learners with special educational needs and disabilities. Competing paradigms of special education and inclusive education have been developed, disseminated and discussed at length over the years. These discussions have focused the attention on effectively educating learners with different types and severities of special educational needs and disabilities, who are living in either developing and developed countries in various parts of the world.The aim of this Special Issue of Education Sciences is to focus on the latest theory, practice and research relevant to special education and inclusive education. Articles that present new ideas, suggest future research directions or potential ways forward for educational practice are of particular interest.

It is acknowledged that effective schools involve parents effectively. This study describes how schools can achieve this aim, and how to increase standards of achievement. It covers the field from nursery to secondary schools, and is aimed at teachers, governors, welfare workers, advisers and PTAs

Much has been written about special education and about inclusive education, but there have been few attempts to pull these two concepts and approaches together.

This handbook discusses the implications of the 1994 Code of Practice and gives practical advice on how to implement the code effectively. It will therefore appeal to anyone involved with special needs children.

This text considers the rationale of, and research evidence in, support of some of the major controversial issues receiving attention in the field of special education. Based on a course of lectures, it aims to comment on each topic in a manner accessible to teachers, parents and professionals.

This book is an extremely comprehensive introductory guide on counselling skills and strategies for teachers.
