I wrote earlier today about special needs education in Africa. I’ve found two books on the African Book Centre which look interesting to anyone considering this subject.

A SENSE OF BELONGING: Should I Mainstream My Child?
by Bev Chambers
As more and more South African parents look at the option of their children with disabilities attending mainstream schools, many questions are raised: Mainstream or special school? What is involved in each of these choices? What are the expected outcomes for the child as an individual? Why are there special schools? Will the school I choose provide for my child’s needs? 56pp, SOUTH AFRICA. DAVID PHILIP, 1919876057
