1. Foreword

Definition of ‘disability’ of the children in this report experienced a range of conditions and

impairments including learning difficulties, behavioural problems, autistic spectrum disorders

(including Asperger’s Syndrome), attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), physical

and sensory impairments and epilepsy. In the interests of clarity, and in order to distinguish

between children who have additional needs and their siblings who do not, I refer to ‘disabled’ and

‘nondisabled children’. Even though a number of parents indicated that they are uncomfortable

with the term ‘disabled’, and prefer to think of their child as having special needs, I hope that they

will understand that this clarifies a potentially cumbersome issue. The fact that the term ‘disabled’

continues to distress parents clearly reflects the fact that the medical rather than the social model of

disability is rooted in the public’s perceptions. ‘I thought it was for people in a wheel-chair, blind

people, people without legs or arms – something you can notice…’ A distinction also needs to be

made between impairments and health conditions and ‘disability’ (which arises from society’s

failure to respond to the needs of people with impairments). Although for many people ‘disabled’

remains a pejorative notion, I have used the term in this because all the families report that their

children’s physical or emotional impairments result in them experiencing a wide range of

‘disabling’ situations – at school, with services, and in society as a whole.

‘Thank you for this opportunity to serve these children’
