This book is for researchers, teachers and other professionals working with children and people with learning difficulties. It will enable them to: access research in learning difficulties, drawing on other disciplines; understand different types of research methodology and their strengths and limitations; examine how researchers must consider the constraints on methodology because of the characteristics of the field; and understand the particular issues of small-scale research and participatory research; and explore new methodologies that are developing in the field. The authors recognize that there are tensions, especially the difficulty of validating research on small varied populations in a wide range of schools, community and other settings . The book will also help readers to critically evaluate the implications of research reports for their own practice.
