0 While writing this book has seemed mainly a solitary, demanding yet
:
0
0 enjoyable task, I have received a great deal of help. I am grateful firstly, to
at my mother and to Monash University Special Research Grants Committee
o] for making available some research assistance, thus making the project viable;
g
e secondly, to Dianne, Teena and Janet, all three of whom in their different
i
D ways gave excellent assistance and whose willingness and efficiency were
n very encouragmg.
a
S I am grateful for the constructive help Len Barton has given me on
a, specific issues relating to the manuscript and for his general encouragement
i
n
r to get the book published.
o
f I thank Monash main library Interlibrary Loan librarians who obtained
i
l
a a great deal of material for me and Vivienne Nash who was very helpful;
C
f also the members of the committee who carried out the Victorian Ministerial
y o Review of Educational Services for the Disabled in 1983-4, and for whom
t I acted as main policy analyst. It was this experience, and events since, which
i
s
r drove me to write the book. In helping sort out its ideas I thank students
e
v at Monash between 1984 and 1988 for their interest and constructive
i
n
U criticism.
y [ To my friends I owe a great deal. To Robin, for his practical help,
b especially in fitting out a study for the computer age, to Eve for her practical
d and unflagging support, to Tony, and Colleen who was always so very
e
d encouraging. Also, Les, my grateful thanks. My thanks, too, to others who
a
o
l respected my involvement, and fmally, to Adam, who turned eighteen while
n
w this was being written, and without whose interest and word-processing
o
D abilities I might never have finished the thing. It was he who told me which
chapters were too long, too short, too packed with quotes - judgements
with which you may agree.
I would like to thank J. Hansen of the Ministry of Education,
Copenhagen, for permission to include Tables 3.1 and 3.3 and Figures 3.1
and 3.2, adapted from Hansen (1984) Handicap and Education; The Danish
