Parents' Perspectives on the Closure of a Special School: Towards Inclusion in Partnership.
Cook, Tina; Swain, John
Educational Review, v53 n2 p191-98 Jun 2001
Interviews with parents of students with disabilities following closure of a special school and mainstreaming of students revealed lack of communication and failure to establish partnerships with parents during reorganization. Even parents who supported mainstreaming felt it had not improved children's opportunities because the radical change needed had not taken place. (SK)
