Within This Issue
The common thread to this issue is the focus of putting the individual at the very centre. This collection of articles explores various challenges, including an examination of Person Centred Approaches, spirituality, asking people (with PMLD) what they think of their day services, the Rotes for Learning approach to assessing how individuals with PMLD learn and ‘route maps’ to their development, teachers’ understandings of profound and multiple learning difficulties and how this affects our expectations, and a government initiatives to encourage more collaborative assessment procedures for children with disabilities. Other articles focus on ways of encouraging greater participation – through music, during museum visits or the use of personalised CDs, and the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education.
