South African Research Reports

This paper is based on research carried out in July/August 2007. It investigates the factors that influence whether disabled children can access education within Orange Farm township, Johannesburg, South Africa. The predominant data source is interviews with parents together with a number of professionals connected with educational provision. This research suggests that in order for disabled children to access their constitutional right to education, it is the attitude of their parents, the local community and educators that need to change for their rights to be realised.
