STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
The book took shape from the work I undertook as part of my doctoral research, which was carried out at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. My experiences in the doctoral programme offered me opportunities to learn and grow both professionally and personally. This programme would not have been possible without the valuable help and guidance of various people to whom I am immensely grateful. I would like to mention some of the people who have contributed to this research, directly and indirectly.
Students with Disabilities and the Transition to Work

Mainstream or Special?
There remains some controversy about how best to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs. Should they be educated in mainstream schools alongside their peers, or does this mean that specialist help and resources are denied to them? This book explores in depth the ways in which this problem has been tackled in Australia, the UK and Canada. It looks at the major issues which have been raised and the types of provisions and resourcing which have been offered, and then goes on to provide a vision of how future education provision might look for pupils with special educational needs.

Engaging Learners with Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities
Children and young people with Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (CLDD) have co-existing and overlapping conditions which can manifest in complex learning patterns, extreme behaviours and a range of socio-medical needs which are new and unfamiliar to many educators. Their combination of issues and layered needs – mental health, relationship, behavioural, physical, medical, sensory, communication and cognitive – mean they often disengage from learning and challenge even our most experienced teachers. This book provides school practitioners and leaders with an approach and resources to engage this often disenfranchized group of children in learning. The Engagement for Learning...
The Construction of Disability in our Schools
This book is about the meaning of disability in schools. The experience of children with disabilities in schools has undergone substantial change over the last twenty years (and more) with many children who would have once been living in institutions now going to school alongside their peers. With this monumental shift and the continuing increased participation of people with disabilities, one might wonder what disability means. In the age of institutionalisation disability referred to those people who were not able to actively participate in society. As it turns out, many of the people who were deemed unable to participate were so only because the society in which they lived had kept them f...
