Trends in Special School Placement to 1986: Measuring, Assessing and Explaining Segregation.
Swann, Will
Oxford Review of Education, v14 n2 p139-61 1988
Considering the consequences of the 1981 Education Act for the integration of children with special needs, Swann examines national trends in special school placement. Introduces new methods to measure segregation, identifying sources from which special school pupils come. Finds only slight evidence of a trend toward integration since the Act's implementation. Discusses other factors influencing the pattern of segregation. (GEA)
