SIR: I am writing to ask if any of your readers could help me in my research into the pros and cons of inclusive eduction.

I would like to hear from parents of children or adults with learning disabilities, or, even better, the people themselves. I would like to hear about their experiences at school, whether they attended a 'special' or mainstream school and whether they thought they would have benefited from a special or mainstream education.

I would also welcome any views from teachers or any members of the public who have an interest or opinion on this subject.

All replies will, of course, be treated in the strictest confidence and no names will be used in my report.

Please write to me at the address below.

Yvonne E Naylor,

9, Oakes Street, Kearsley, Bolton. BL4 8DJ
