Description
The author of this text argues that special educational needs are constantly being recreated and vary dramatically for geographical or social reasons. She discusses the development of special education needs theory, its varying characterizations and the socio-economic forces which are shaping special needs thinking for the future. Comparative international examples are provided, and there is an analysis of popular culture's depiction of special education needs learners.
