Abstract

What do we do when students (or indeed, professional colleagues) persist in holding negative views on people with disability? In the debate on integration, for example, polarised views can lead to destructive exchanges. Constructivist theory can provide illuminating and helpful insights into resolving conflict and constraint in communicating.
