Recent legislation, both in the UK and abroad, has underlined the need for strong interdisciplinary approaches to meet the diversity of special educational needs that exist in our child population. This multidisciplinary approach necessitates a change of focus. It recognises the parent, with their child, as central, implicit and fundamental to the early intervention team, and endorses their right to request appropriate access to services. Discusses how this change in approach to families of children with special educational needs will challenge some professionals and demand a radical reappraisal of the structure of their role and their style of delivery of early intervention.

Exclusion from primary school: children 'in need' and children with 'special educational need'
- Author:
- HAYDEN Carol
- Journal article citation:
- Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, 2(3), Winter 1997, pp.36-44.
- Publisher:
- Taylor and Francis
This article utilises evidence from a national research project, funded by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council), focusing on exclusion from primary school to discuss the issue of how we begin to conceptualise the needs underlying the behaviour of many of these children. The article argues that the evidence about children excluded from primary school illustrates that they should be viewed primarily as children with special educational needs and/or children 'in need' and therefore entitled to the support and protection from legislation which recognises these needs, rather than viewed as a discipline problem which requires appropriate sanctions, one of which is exclusion from school.
