It goes without saying that the field of special educational needs/additional support needs is very complex, and the research team takes responsibility for any errors of interpretation. In compiling this report, we have received considerable help and advice from our colleagues at the Scottish Executive, to whom we extend our thanks. In addition, the following individuals assisted us in a variety of ways including providing interviews, responding to drafts and queries and sending copies of papers and reports to supplement our electronic searches.
