Designing for Pupils with Special Educational Needs

This bulletin gives advice and guidance on teaching and related accommodation in maintained special schools to support the curricular and other needs of the pupils concerned. The illustrated text takes account of developments in recent years which affect the building provision for pupils with learning, physical, sensory and emotional, and behavioural difficulties. Covering the effects of increased integration into ordinary schools, as well as those of the Educational Reform Act 1988 and the introduction of the National Curriculum, the bulletin will assist local education authorities, governing bodies, head teachers and architects in the preparation of briefs and designs for new buildings, and for reorganizing, adapting and extending existing buildings.
