Inclusion & deafness

Taking place in 1999 at the University of Manchester, this was the first in a series of seminars organised by EENET to help provide greater clarity about issues related to the specific needs of deaf children within inclusive settings.

EENET’s particular concern is about the vast majority of deaf and disabled children who are marginalized from mainstream education systems. There were 24 participants representing 10 countries at the seminar, half of whom were teachers of deaf children from the South, but there was unfortunately only one Deaf participant.
