Mainstream Students Talk about Integration

Seven months after the transfer of the senior department of a school for pupils with severe learning difficulties into a local upper school, an evaluation was carried out by staff of the special school and their liaison educational psychologist, Phillip Whitaker. It attempted to investigate the perspectives of all who took part, focusing particularly on any actual or potential problems so as to shape the future development of the project. This report focuses on the attitudes and experiences of the mainstream students and on the lessons which were drawn from their experience. The author, Phillip Whitaker, is a member of the Leicestershire Educational Psychology Service.

Using the Ecosystemic Approach to Change Chronic Problem Behaviour in Primary Schools

This paper describes a small‐scale study of what the authors describe as the ecosystemic approach to changing chronic problem behaviour. The study was undertaken with a group of twelve Leicestershire primary teachers. The technique is briefly described and then teachers' responses to it and its effectiveness are discussed. Four case study examples are presented and finally its potential is considered. Although in this case the work was undertaken with primary teachers, this is an approach which could also be useful at secondary level.
