Summary

The political climate of recent years in Britain and the United States led to many changes, many along similar lines, placing greater power and choice in the hands of individuals with special education needs. The contributors in this book compare how special education policy and practice is being negotiated within the context of educational reform in two countries. Each chapter provides an overview and comparative analysis of the origins and evolution of specific educational reforms, exploring themes such as how to: provide parents with greater choice, decentralize decision making, make the whole curriculum available to all, provide accountability, and fund necessary changes.
