Conductive education: links with mainstream schools

by Mike Lambert

Support for Learning, 19 (1) February 2004, pp.31-37

Conductive education is a distinctive style of
teaching and learning for pupils with physical more Conductive education is a distinctive style of
teaching and learning for pupils with physical
difficulties. It is practised in the UK in some
maintained, non-maintained and independent special
schools and centres (here collectively termed
‘conductive-education schools’). In this article Mike
Lambert investigates the extent to which these
conductive-education schools have links with
mainstream schools, and the purposes and nature of
such links. It discusses what conductive-education
schools may need to do if they are to develop effective
and valuable roles in respect to mainstream schooling.
This report has relevance for all schools, but
p a rticularly for those special schools with an interest
in, or practising, conductive education and for
mainstream schools interested in working with them.

A follow-up to the 1982 Emmy-nominated film Little People, Big Enough is a 2004 documentary film about Anu Trombino, Karla and John Lizzo, Len and Lenette Sawisch, and Sharon and Ron Roskamp, who are all typical Americans in every respect, except that they are dwarfs. Twenty years after her first film, Jan Krawitz finds out what has happened to her subjects.[1]

Big Enough was met with high critical acclaim, receiving an Independent Filmmaker Award from the Carolina Film & Video Festival and was aired as part of PBS's Point of View series in 2005.

Choosing deafness with preimplantation genetic diagnosis: an ethical way to carry on a cultural bloodline?

by Dr Silvia Camporesi

published in 'Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics', 2010

bring into the world has been monopolized by the discussion of the different
notions of ‘‘disability’’ and by the related topic of the treatment–enhancement distinction. In this debate, different definitions of ‘‘disability’’ seem to imply different normative judgments about parental reproductive choices.
I here adopt a different perspective, as I shift the debate from the level of
‘‘disability’’ to that of ‘‘impairment.’’ Indeed, I take as premises the definitions of ‘‘disability’’ and ‘‘impairment’’ given by the social constructivist scholar Michael Oliver and contend that it is still possible to claim that choosing deafness with PGD is morally wrong, without claiming that deafness is a disability.I frame the issue in terms of justice toward the future children and limitation of a reasonably broad array of different life plans. I also support my view in terms of the balance between self-determination of parents within their sphere of reproductive freedom and their determination of future children.

The narratives that form the basis of the analysis in this chapter are considered in relation to the phenomenology of authenticity in order to explore the negotiation between general practitioners and trans people at the start of their transitions. As these encounters materialise around the notion of authenticity, I examine the experiences of treatment in both NHS and private healthcare settings. I move temporally to consider policy implementations and how treatment is affected. I also discuss the Gender Recognition Act (2004) and its effects on transsexual subjectivities and identities through the structure-agency debate and move beyond the dichotomous argument that authenticity (is tangible) and inauthenticity (is arbitrary).
