Author Description

First Published in 1998. This book is part of a series of books on individual education plans (IEPs), each focused on a specific aspect of special educational needs (SEN) and intended to support effective practices in mainstream schools working to make their provision inclusive. This book has attempted to put forward a case for IEPs as part of a school’s ‘inclusive and effective practice’ for the diversity of its pupils and the requirements of the 1994 Code of Practice. Further DfEE guidance on IEPs is planned to support the revised Code and it is the authors' intention that this book will support schools in developing and evaluating any improvements they make to their existing IEP procedures.
