  This work concerns aspects of decision-making by, or on behalf of, children who have special educational needs. This is an area of concern, given that little attention has been previously given to the views of children on matters relating to their education. Among the topics considered in detail in this work are: the contexts for advocacy; dilemmas that can manifest themselves in the advocacy context; how the role of teachers fits into advocacy; extending the ivolvement of children; developing a partnership approach; and professional devlopment for advocacy.
