Within This Issue
This issue is the first in the year in which PMLD Link celebrates 25 years of publication. These images of the front covers show that PMLD Link has not only survived, but developed over the years from a few simple, photocopied sheets to the fully fledged journal it now is.
Many of the major issues of 25 years ago relating to ‘PMLD’ continue to be debated and we have reprinted a few items from those early days – see the poem by Christina Ross from Issue 1 in 1988 and an article on multisensory environments by Nick Howard – with accompanying articles on present practice. Other perennial themes are represented by the articles on the arts (in this issue theatre and storytelling), accessibility and inclusion, research, the National Curriculum and this continuing debate is surely healthy in challenging, informing and improving practice.
