Zimbabwe Open University Press
ISBN: 1779004222
This book provides a rare opportunity in Special Needs education and Disability studies in that it juxtaposes the experiences and knowledge of people living with the disabilities with that of teachers and scholars from universities. This provides multiple perspectives on each disability group. The authors problematise, interrogate and provide possible practical solutions to the issues they raise. The book is situated and contextualised in Zimbabwe but with a regional and international application. This book makes a great contribution for students, scholars and practitioners working in Dsability study and Special Needs education. (Description from the book cover)
