Disabled Children and Residential Schools: The Implications for Local Education Professionals.

Morris, Jenny; Abbott, David; Ward, Linda

British Journal of Special Education, v30 n2 p70-75 Jun 2003

This article summarizes findings of research into decision-making processes leading to residential special school placements in England. Results suggest the needs of individual children are not central to these decision-making processes and that local authorities who make such placements do not pay sufficient attention to protecting and promoting children's educational and care needs.
