Overview

The best methods of including disabled people in mainstream education is the subject of much debate, but the voice of disabled people themselves is seldom heard. Mal Leicester argues in this text that people have been disabled by society, and that there is a need for educational change. The book encourages equal opportunities for disabled people by promoting the practice of enabling education, a ""disability aware"" education that caters, and should be of interest to educational policy makers, teachers, their trainers, and people with disabilities and their families.
