Education of children with mild neurological dysfunction

As one who is involved with the educational planning of children with disabling conditions, I am very conscious of the significance of the theme of this conference. Much of the work I have to do is involved in centres where a range of professionals have great responsibility in the treatment of children and where lines of communication are well-established, bridges are easily built between the professional islands. The greater cooperation and team work between professions working with children has had a marked impact of the understanding of children with special problems. A quick glance through the literature on special education reveals the contributions of disciplines outside education.
