Education Act

The Education Act (1981) was brought into effect on 1 September 1983. Explanatory and guidance documents were published in 1983. The Education Act has effects on the work of child and adolescent psychiatrists in two ways. Firstly it affects those in-patient and day units that have education on the premises. Secondly it affects the placement of children who have special educational needs because of emotional or behavioural problems, the children who in the past would have been deemed maladjusted. While child psychiatrists should be involved in all cases where emotional and behavioural problems are the main issue, they will also be involved with some of the children who have special educational needs because of intellectual and learning difficulties, children who in the past were deemed educationally subnormal. These children between them constitute a high proportion of those who will, under the new Act, be subjects of statements of need.

Project Report

This paper considers the purposes, methods, findings and significance of the British Library LESSEN (Learning Support for Special Educational Needs) Project. The focus was on Year 7 students, i.e., in their first year of secondary education (aged 11-12 years), in ten English secondary schools who were on the Special Educational Needs (SEN) register because of their learning difficulties. Case studies were undertaken in 10 schools located in five Local Education Authorities (LEAs). Data were collected from documents, observation and an extensive interview program, both within schools and with LEA and schools library services staff. Work with individual children was also undertaken, supporting in subject lessons and in the SEN base, as well as assisting in the library, to provide an action research element to the investigation. Varying levels of library and staffing were found and recommendations were made as to future progress. The project report, Learning support for special educational needs is due for publication in 1997 by Taylor Graham.

The Way

The Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry wish to monitor the way the Act is working in its first year. It would seem appropriate to do this through the College's Regional Representatives. It is suggested that all consultants should make a note of cases where the Education Act is applied. At the end of May 1984 it would be helpful if all consultants summarized their experiences in terms of numbers of cases and any problems that may have been encountered. Cases where the application of the Act was successful and smooth should also be noted in order that we can develop a code of good practice.

During the past decades there have been considerable innovations with the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in many fields and sectors. In many settings ICTs have become an important element of the learning and teaching process. All social groups have been helped including children and adults with special educational needs. In this paper we provide a brief overview of the most representative articles for applications used for assessment, intervention and development of empathy which is an important skill that researches indicate that people with special educational needs lack of it. Empathy is a complex form of psychological inference in which observation, memory, knowledge, and reasoning are combined to yield insights into the thoughts and feelings of others.

Education Of Students

The transformation of the classical school into a humanistic one, which started in the last decade of the 20th century, has accelerated a lot in the present century. How did the content and the process of natural sciences education change for students with special educational needs (SEN)? The research reviews documents, research literature and textbooks for students with SEN; it deals with the issues of organizing the process and content of their education and self-education. Adapted natural science textbooks for primary and high school are suitable for students with learning difficulties, disorders or mild learning difficulties. Textbooks for students with SEN partly satisfy the needs of these students. However, it would be useful to write natural science textbooks of a lower degree of difficulty for the students whose SEN are big or very big due to the moderate learning difficulties. Research carried out in the process of natural sciences (self-) education enables to make images directly, while students understand and start using the concepts in various contexts through action during the experiment, through observation and performing practical tasks. Keywords: students with special educational needs (SEN), natural sciences education, the process of (self-) education, textbooks.
