This study evaluates the Schools Access Initiative (SAI), which aims to increase access to mainstream schools for pupils with a physical or sensory impairment. The aim of the study is to follow up on to earlier reports: ‘Within reach: a study’ (1992) and ‘Within reach: the school survey’ (1993). These earlier reports were the basis for a campaign which preceded the introduction of SAI. A sample of eight LEAs and twenty seven schools are used as a basis for the report. Attitudes to inclusion; LEA knowledge of accessibility; views on management of the SAI; and sufficiency of the SAI are looked at.

Investigates how to handle children with stress derived from various sources, including health, educational and social. Also looks at the causes and effects of stress and ways of preventing or minimising it, as well as coping strategies. Chapters focus on children with sensory impairments, disabilities, learning difficulties, and emotional or behavioural difficulties, as well as children from black and minority ethnic communities and gifted children.
