The Assessment of Special Educational Needs in Scotland - Retrospect and Prospect.
Gavine, David
Scottish Educational Review, v33 n1 p72-83 May 2001
Traces how the assessment of special educational needs has been carried out in Scotland since 1980. Discusses ambiguity of terminology in legislative and policy documents between needs located within the child and those related to educational resources; difficulties caused by abolition of student categorization by handicap; and suggestions for simpler, more enabling legislation.
