Joint problem solving in a special school
Penny Lacey
Since April 2008 Dr. Penny Lacey of the University of Birmingham's School of Education, has been working as a consultant to a special school to help them develop their provision for children with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). She describes here how she opted for a partnership approach which would recognise and extend existing good practice at the school and in which her experience and knowledge would be added in some way to that of the staff and children. She found that this collaborative approach enabled everyone to move forward together with the promise of achieving lasting change.
