In: Difference. A little book about diversity by Michael Soucie, Astra Milberg & Dave Hingsburger
		Order code: 05-B017 Price: £3.00 Format: 215x140mm 22pp paperback “Powerful”, “Inspiring”, “Challenging” are words that have been used to describe the articles in this little book. Collected here for the first time, three unique voices talk about difference and diversity. Astra Milberg wrote “Letter to a baby” as a means of inspiring young people who have Down Syndrome while challenging those who support them. The line “God gave me an extra chromosome. It’s an odd gift but it is a gift,” sums up not just philosophy but Astra’s unique take on life with a disability. “Perhaps change is the only way to apologise”, Michael Soucie writes in an article that has been called one of the best essays written in Canada. Mike asks us to reflect on deeply held biases against people with disabilities. He chronicles his own growth and in doing so inspires others.

Inclusion: Recent research by Gary Bunch & Angela Valeo
		Order code: 02-B013 Price: £11.50 Format: 255x185mm 183pp paperback Acceptance or rejection of inclusive education for all students is primarily a matter of attitude. There is no longer any argument that the inclusive approach cannot work, that teachers cannot undertake it without unfair stress, that the education of other students will be harmed, or that included students will suffer wholesale rejection by their peers. Such arguments are disproved by the fact that teachers successfully practice inclusion everyday. We know that any significant educational reform will draw resistance from some educators due to fear that their working conditions will be affected, that the task is beyond their capacities, and due to the implied or direct challenge to the manner in which they have understood and practised their profession. Dr. Bunch, a professor of education at York University, Toronto, and research associate Angela Valeo, a teacher, use the most up to date research to deal with topics such as challenging behaviour, effects of inclusion on the “other” students, teacher attitudes, academic achievement and more.
Inclusion: What young people tell us Research by Anne Darby and Ailsa Fairley Compiled by Penny Barratt, Anne Darby, Julia Hayes, Ruth Jobs
		Order code: 14-B001 Price: £5.00 Format: 300x210mm 17pp paperback Education around the world is becoming increasingly inclusive. There is an onus on schools to develop their ability to include pupils who are described as having special educational needs. Nottingham City Council demonstrated its endorsement of inclusion through consultation and publication of an Inclusion Policy Statement in 1999. The statement explicitly adopts the social model of disability with its focus on the removal of barriers. The social model contrasts with the traditional medical model of disability which identifies the individual's impairment as creating a special problem in need of treatment. This 17 page book presents the views of some of the young people who attend schools in Nottingham. They were encouraged to comment on their experiences of the inclusion process to highlight good practice. Contents: Introduction Why collect the views of young people? How were the views of young people collected in this research project? What the young people said From conversations with young people-recommendations for good practice Strategies for schools in developing good practice
Inclusive Education. Readings and reflections by Gary Thomas and Mark Vaughan
	Order code: 11-B021 Price: £19.00 Format: 230x150mm 215pp paperback 'Over the past centuries research and practice has supported the use of inclusive practices as opposed to segregation. Political events relating to equality for all have spurred these changes. This book provides a valuable journey of exploration into these processes that have brought us where we are today - slow but steady progress towards inclusive practices within mainstream schools.' International Journal of Disability, Development and Education 'Everyone believes in inclusion ' or do they? This excellent new book takes readers on a compelling historical journey which explores the beliefs, the barriers, the evidence and the practice that surrounds the pursuit of a more inclusive education system. Historically `the time never seems to have been right' for a fully inclusive education system in Great Britain. Perhaps the climate and context of the first decade of the 21st Century has the potential to make it the `Age of Inclusion'. If so ' this book will certainly help us to achieve this elusive goal.' Tony Dessent, Luton Borough Council 'Ten years after the Salamanca Statement, this book helpfully brings together a broad range of texts to stimulate all of us to reflect on the progress made towards more inclusive education. Particularly impressive is the way that Thomas and Vaughan locate discussion of inclusion in wider debates about the nature of society.' Mel Ainscow, University of Manchester This book examines the key influences behind the moves towards inclusive education and inclusion in mainstream society. The first of its kind anywhere in the world, this seminal work features more than 50 extracts from key documents and classic texts, alongside illuminating commentaries by two experts in the field. Inclusive Education: Readings and Reflections demonstrates that moves to inclusion have come from many directions: research; the imperative for greater social justice; calls for civil rights; legislation that prohibits discrimination; original, distinctive projects started by imaginative educators; and the voices of those who have been through special education. These sources are marshalled and organised in this book. It is essential reading for students on a range of courses in inclusive education and special educational needs, and for anyone wishing to understand the development of inclusive education, including teachers, headteachers, educational psychologists, and parents.
Incurably Human by Micheline Mason
		Order code: 20-B002 Price: £9.00 Format: 235x160mm 120pp paperback This book traces the growth of the inclusion movement and explains the philosophy of liberation which lies beneath it. It is written from the perspective of the excluded and their allies who are the driving force behind the call for change. It is an attempt to take the reader on Micheline’s journey of discovery, starting from childhood certainty that she was already fully human, and therefore not in need of a “cure”, to a much later understanding that all human beings are “incurable” at our core, and that the inclusion movement is this inextinguishable flame made visible. Each chapter is like the overturning of a stone along a path - my discovery of a small piece of a picture which will hopefully one day fit together into a natural pattern. As you read it, and when you have finished it, I hope you will realise that each one of you has come along a unique path of your own, not mine. Mine may only help you shed light on your own, and give you enough confidence to continue, and above all share your discoveries with others, so that the journey feels more like an outing with friends than a lone battle against the world.
