Abstract

This Report sets out what it proposes as "seven principles" to guide special educational development into the next century. These quite unexceptional statements do not constitute a philosophical foundation for a document based on simplistic, naive and sometimes dangerous assumptions. Among these unchallenged assumptions is the continued categorisation of pupils with special needs using outmoded terminology.
