Well-Meant, but Failing on Almost All Counts: The Case against Statementing.

Williams, Hugh; Maloney, Sheelagh

British Journal of Special Education, v25 n1 p16-21 Mar 1998

Criticizes the process of making statements of special educational needs for students with disabilities. Statementing is argued to have led to schools' demands for special resources for activities seen as outside of the ordinary and to have increased the number of children with statements of special needs.
