  1. Hiya, Thanks for your message! I have informed my lecturer of my plans etc and I am waiting for him 2 get back 2 me. The case study would involve the questions being formulated for your son and he would then answer the questions etc. Do you think this would be ok? My lecturer has already said that responses by email are fine so would that be ok with you? An example of some of the questions are.. How do you feel about having dyslexic? Do you feel different? Do your school do anything to help with your dyslexia? How funny is that! My lecturer just responded to my email saying my plan sounds great! Do you think your son would be happy to fill in the semi - structured interview questions? I will probably have them ready for you the week after the 13th of March? Thanks so much for your help!!!!
  2. Hi all, As you may be aware I am a student at the University of East London and I am currently in my final year!At the moment I am involved in carrying out my dissertation and I am also undertaking a module called dyslexia. As a part of this module we have been set an assignment where we have to carry out case study research on a child/adult who has a statement for dyslexia. I was just wondering if anybody would be willing to take part in my research? My research would involve me carrying out semi - structured interviews via the internet and then you can send the completed interview to my email address? The case study research would also involve me asking you questions like when were you given a statement for dyslexia? How were you taught to read? (e.g. analytical phonics, look and say or synthetic). A copy of your statement for dyslexia would also be required. If anybody is interested in taking part in my research then my email address is emmawood2001@hotmail.com ( I have msn messenger). Thank you for your valuable time.

  4. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/tr...07_tue_01.shtml This may be of some interest to you all! please try 2 keep filling in the questionnaires for me because I have had some great feedback from my lecturer so far!! Emma x
  5. Hi, Thanks to all of you who filled in my questionnaire. I have so far had 6 back and I want to make the total up to 10! I would really appreciate it if I could have a few more completed questionnaires back. Thanks, Emma
  6. Thanks for your comments. Hopefully I will start getting a few more completed questionnaires back so I can move onto the analysis side of my research! thanks again, Emma
  7. Hi, Thanks for your message. I agree with everything you have said - mainstream doesn't necessarily mean that the school is inclusive. Also, although many schools might like to be known as an 'inclusive school', in reality they aren't because they fail to meet the various children's needs in the different areas of the education life. Your message was really really insightful and interesting, and i intend to use it for my research. Thanks Emma Emma
  8. Thanks to all of you who have completed my questionnaire and commented on it. I have just arranged to meet my lecturer on tuesday, so it would be great if everybody could try to fill my questionnaire in for me. That way, my lecturer can analyse my questions along with your comments, and then we can decide on what I should do next. Thanks for all of your help again. Emma x
  9. Thanks Jen! Any help or questionnaire questions (preferably unstructured questionnaire questions on inclusive education would be greatly appreciated). Thanks again
  10. Hi, I am sorry if my questions have come across this way - I did not intend them too. I work in a special needs school and I also work in the inclusion unit of the school and my job involves going with some of the children into mainstream schools, where I assist them in their learning. I dont believe all children to should be included in mainstream schools and I totally agree with you that just because a child is physically included in a mainstream school, it does not mean they are fully included in all aspects of their education and development. However, my questionnaire and dissertation is specifically focusing on parents experiences of mainstream inclusive schools for their SEN and disabled children. I actually extracted the questions from a researcher at the University of Bath, so I will try to change them. Thank you for your comments - I have taken note of what you have said.
  11. Hi, My name is Emma Wood and I am currently a 3 year student at the University of East London. I am currently undertaking my disseration on the 'experiences of children with SEN and disabilities, and their parents in two mainstream inclusive schools' and I was wondering if parents would be willing to answer some questions for me so that I can then formulate them into my questionnaire results? So far my questionnaire format is a bit rusty because my lecturer has been off sick so I have been unable to run it past her! However, any help would be greatly interested because I can then analyse my results. if u would like to email you my comments then my email is emmawood2001@hotmail.com 1. Please tell me about your child. How old are they? Are they male or female? 2.If there is any other information about them which you think others should know, for example if they have a disability or a SEN, you might wish to explain about this. 3. Are you happy with your child's current school and how much choice do you feel you had in its selection? Y/ N - Why? 4. Have you always wanted your child to be included in a mainstream school? Or was there a turning point in your views on this? Why do you believe it is better for him / her to be educated in an inclusive setting? 5. Have you encountered opposition or lack of understanding in your wish for your child to be included? If so, can you tell me about these experiences and how they made you feel? 6. What type and level of support have you/your child received to enable your child to access mainstream school? 7. What is the outcome / current position of your struggle for inclusion? 8. What is your child's current educational status? They currently attend a special needs school They currently attend a mainstream school They are starting a mainstream school shortly They do not currently attend school because the LEA is refusing to allow them to attend a mainstream school Other Please highlight in red and bold 9. Can you list the kind of difficulties experienced by you as parent of a child with SEN/disabilities? (Can you number them for example 1= very challenging, 4 is least challenging) 10. List the supports that are available to you as a parent? (Number them in order of most successful, least successful) 11. What strategies have you as a parent used to help you, your family and your child (with SEN/disabilities). eg support services/help lines? determination/dedication 12. Is there a message you would like to give to other parents who are struggling to have their child included? 13. Do you have any advice to offer teachers (or other professionals) about how to make inclusion work? Thank you very much for your valuable time.
