Abstract

Lisa's enrolment in a second level school was not without its problems. With careful planning, intervention strategies and staff commitment however, Lisa's educational needs were met by the school. In so far as was appropriate, the full curriculum was offered to Lisa and she was enabled to sit for state examinations.
