Inclusive Education

A Global Agenda

By: Seamus Hegarty,Cor and Meijer,Sip Jan Pijl

The way in which special education is conceived varies around the world, and pratice varies accordingly. One of the current debates concerns the concepts of mainstreaming, integration and inclusion - and whether these are in fact different concepts, or simply differnt terminology. This book is based on the assumption that inclusive education is a necessary part of providing high quality education for all. Using international examples, it clarifies the rationale for inclusion and demonstrates how it can be put into practice.

Irish Culture and “The People”

Populism and its Discontents

By: Seamus O'Malley

This book argues that populism has been a shaping force in Irish literary culture. Populist moments and movements have compelled authors to reject established forms and invent new ones. Sometimes, as in the middle period of W.B. Yeats's work, populism forces a writer into impossible stances, spurring ever greater rhetorical and poetic creativity. At other times, as in the critiques of Anna Parnell or Myles na gCopaleen, authors penetrate the rhetoric fog of populist discourse and expose the hollowness of its claims. Yet in both politics and culture, populism can be a generative force. Daniel O'Connell, and later the Land League, utilized populist discourse to advance Irish political freedom and expand rights. The most powerful works of Lady Gregory and Ernie O'Malley are their portraits of The People that borrows from the populist vocabulary. While we must be critical of populist discourse, we dismiss it at our loss. This study synthesizes existing scholarship on populism to explore how Irish texts have evoked "The People"—a crucial rhetorical move for populist discourse—and how some writers have critiqued, adopted, and adapted the languages of Irish populisms.

New Perspectives in Special Education

A Six-country Study of Integration

By: Inge M. Abbring,Seamus Hegarty,Cor J. W. Meijer,Sip J. Pijl

It is now widely believed in many Western countries that the segregation of students with special educational needs is problematic, and that wherever possible these students should be educated alongside their peers in regular education settings. There has been a general move towards integrating special and regular education into one system that caters for a much wider range of students. But the outcomes in various countries have been very different. This book describes and evaluates these outcomes. The book provides both quantitative and qualitative information, analysing the similarities and differences between integration practices in six Western countries.

Stretching the System

FE and Related Responses to Students with Special Needs. A Special Needs Document

By: Judy Bradley,Seamus Hegarty

The ways in which further education (FE) and related sectors in England can assist young people with special needs are discussed. After a brief introduction in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 considers school-based provision. College-based provision, which is considered in Chapter 3, consists of six modes: adjusted mainstream provision, link courses, bridging courses, special courses, special units, and outreach provision. In Chapter 4, attention is directed to the specialist colleges that serve young people with special needs. The largest sector within this provision caters to the physically handicapped, although other disabled people are served. It is noted that specialist colleges tend to favor segregated provision, since the severely handicapped are largely the group served; however, a small number of these colleges enable students to attend a local college of FE on a day release basis. Chapter 5 describes the Youth Opportunities Programme (YOP), which provides experiences such as work preparation and work experience. In Chapter 6, provision outside college in adult training centres for the mentally handicapped and in day centres for the physically handicapped is examined. Finally, Chapter 7 considers the role of continuing education in meeting the needs of special adults. The content and organization of current and possible future staff development and implications/issues are covered in Chapters 8 and 9. Examples of curricular offerings at the school- and college-based levels and through the YOP are appended. A list of 58 references and a glossary of acronyms/abbreviations are also included. (SEW)

Students with Special Needs in FE

A Review of Current and Completed Research Relating to Young People in the 14-19 Age Range with Special Educational Needs

By: Judy Bradley,Seamus Hegarty

A review of current and completed research relating to youth aged 14-17 with special educational needs (with special emphasis on research relevant to the British educational context) reveals that, to date, most research has examined the needs of young people with special conditions rather than focusing on a broader cross-section of all young people with special needs. Methodologically, many of the studies have been limited by being small-scale, lacking in theoretical awareness, or being purely descriptive. Particularly needed are more prospective longitudinal studies to give a more complete picture than do currently prevalent retrospective studies. In addition, little information exists in the area of the continuity of support that a disabled individual might be expected to receive during and after childhood. Among those areas in which further research is needed concerning educational needs of special needs students are the following: target group, organization of provision, special schools, further education sector, curriculum, attainment, careers education and guidance, work preparation, employment experience, unemployment, social and emotional development, assessment, training, support services, and information dissemination.
