"Inclusion Is More than a Place": Exploring Pupil Views and Voice in Belfast Schools through Visual Narrative
Ryan, David
British Journal of Special Education, v36 n2 p77-84 Jun 2009
The research reported in this article by David Ryan, an adviser for special educational needs and inclusion in Belfast, was based on a participatory approach in which young people in a number of schools were encouraged to develop their ideas about inclusion. The project set out to explore any differences in perceptions between pupils with special educational needs and those without. The young people were equipped with cameras and were encouraged to generate "visual narratives" expressing their views about the "reasonable adjustments" that mainstream schools might make in order to become more inclusive. David Ryan concludes that education must be personalised so that schools take account of the perspectives of individual pupils in their endeavours to become more inclusive. He also notes that young people appear to have strongly-held views about some of the sensory aspects of the school environment.
