Inclusive Education E-newsletter
In May 2005, Healthlink Worldwide and the Disability Action Council, Cambodia ran a three-day roundtable discussion in Cambodia, attended by over 60 people interested in inclusive education. Their experiences and enthusiasm prompted the development of an electronic newsletter. The e-newsletter covers issues such as, the inclusion of deaf children in mainstream schools, the importance of giving parents a voice, disabled teachers as role-models, and research opportunities in inclusive education. It was produced by Healthlink Worldwide and Susie Miles from EENET, as part of the Disability Knowledge and Research Programme.
