Abstract

Are support systems in danger of creating special needs? Can visiting support teachers contribute to a possible stigmatising effect on pupils? These were some questions posed in a qualitative evaluation of an outreach support system for students with learning and adjustment difficulties operated by the Ulster Hospital Special School.
