Abstract
Our third article turns its attention to the views of young people on the support they receive in school, with deaf education supplying a particularly useful context to explore this issue. Here Joy Jarvis describes a research project carried out to establish what the pupils saw as facilitating or inhibiting their inclusion in a mainstream context. She concludes that in addition to the benefits of specialist teaching and sensitive support in class, more attention should be paid to the development of peer support.Keywords
