    Abstract

    In Ireland there have been dramatic changes in special educational needs policy over the last ten years. The introduction of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs (EPSEN) Act in 2004 made a commitment to inclusive education and has led to greater numbers of children being educated in mainstream settings. This trend reflected an increasing policy emphasis on inclusive education internationally. Concerns have been raised, however, about the practical implications of mainstreaming for student wellbeing, educational engagement and successful learning.
