Abstract

In considering the overall welfare of pupils with special needs, the educational work of the special school can be greatly augmented by the services of a professional Social Worker. Teachers may be only partially aware of the home circumstances of the children in their charge. The Social Worker through home visits can provide vital feedback to school staff on the home and family dimension of the child's life.
