A companion volume to ''Children with Special Needs'', this volume covers the assessment of and procedure for young adults who have greater difficulties in learning than the majority of people their age. Further and higher education institutions have now been taken out of LEA jurisdiction, and this book provides a detailed guide to the most recent developments in law and practice, including how to approach and identify the problem, the difference in dealing with those with or without previous statements, the legal duties of the institutions, and how to deal with the transfer from school.
How to Prepare for Leaving School or for Returning to Further and Higher Education Having Left School; The Nature of the Duty Under the 1992 Act; Appeals and judicial Review; The Remaining Relevant Duties of the LEA; Transport to School or College; Appendices: Identification and Assessment of Children with Special Educational Needs; DFE Circular 1/93,5 January 1993; Further and Higher Education Act 1992; Further and Higher Education Funding Council Circular; Descriptions of Courses of Further Education; Disabled Persons Act 1986; Statements; Annual Review; Implementation of 1986 Act (1988); Implementation of 1986 Act (1993).
This new book is a comprehensive, yet commendably condensed, overview of the situation... it is sure to find a place on the bookshelves of parents, FE College staff and care agencies. I would like to think that LEA's and the Further Education Funding Council will also use the book to inform their thinking and practice in this important area... should become an essential vade mecum for all involved with young adults who have special needs.
