Abstract

This article gives an overview of the development of a structured programme of activities which was part of a project linking a special school for students with severe and profound learning disabilities and a local second level school. The programme of activities was designed to promote interaction between a group of students from the special school and a group of transition year students from the second level school. The author gives reasons for the choice of the activities and assesses their impact from the point of view of both the students with severe and profound learning disabilities and their transition year peers.
