Dimensions of Special Needs: A Non-Categorical Approach to SEN.

Muncey, Jim; Palmer, Charles

British Journal of Special Education, v22 n3 p125-28 Sep 1995

This discussion of special needs students in the context of British education supports and extends John Fish's "dimensions" concept, a descriptive system which is seen as neither crudely categorical nor completely individualized. The model involves five dimensions of special needs, each banded into six levels of need intensity. (DB)
