The question of where to locate the resources required to meet low incidence special educational needs has challenged many LEAs over the years. This account, from Robin Thomas and Alec Gillies, of a ‘new build’ primary school in Hampshire, shows how this question is addressed in one LEA inrelation to the development of provision for visually impaired (VI) children and young people. Readers will be interested in the practical detail provided, including the approximate costs of such an initiative.
