Abstract

One of the most positive elements in the Report is the recognition that there is a need for a continuum of services, including special schools, for pupils with special needs. Hardline ideological positions on the integration issue have been avoided. On the other hand, maintaining the present model of a psychological service and fastening existing links between the Departments of Health, Education and Finance does not augur well for a new flexible system.
