Abstract

The purpose of this study is to critically evaluate the concept of partnership and collaboration in education. The study emphasizes on assessing the educational services for children with special needs, specifically those of down syndrome (DS). The 1970 education Act insures all children including those children of DS receive some form of education. Three interviews were conducted; two took place at special needs schools, and one at the home of a mother with a child of DS. Due to the fact of confidentiality, the borough where these interviews were conducted will remain unnamed. The schools, mother and child discussed within this assignment will be put into two categories, groups A and B. Group A relates to a school of severe learning disabilities (SLDs), therefore the carer and professional associated with this school will be referred to as carer A and professional A.
