What is the current relationship between School and Family of children with special needs? Where are the activist parents in Greece and Cyprus, whose struggles paved the way for the passing of new legislation and the creation of a new path? Where did their own children end up? What prospects do today's parents and their disabled children have in the two countries? The book you hold in your hands aims to answer these questions. It is based on the collaboration of some of the most well-known names in the field of special and inclusive education in Greece and Cyprus and draws from recent research and years of experience working with children with special needs, their schools, and their parents. The hope of bringing parents and educators to a common "table" of continuous dialogue for mutual effort to adequately meet the needs of children with difficulties or disabilities made this book possible.
