"""Holistic Special Education provides a fascinating and insightful account of the philosophy and practice of Camphill Schools. I recommend this book not only to those with an interest in residential child care but to all those involved in the care and education of children."" - Andrew Kendrick, Professor of Residential Child Care, University of Strathclyde ""Whatever a reader's views about residential special schools, this book is well worth reading. It draws on the creativity of the Steiner tradition and provides an inspiring and detailed account of 'curative education'--a holistic approach to working with children with special needs. It is written with a moving enthusiasm for its subject and is informed by a deep respect for children as individuals and as part of a community."" - Pat Petrie, Professor of Education, University of London ""The opportunities and distinct learning and care that Camphill schools and communities provide are illustrated in this stimulating book which combines professional experience and case-studies with academic and policy references. It makes for compelling reading for special education professionals, social workers and parents."" - Professor Pamela Cushing, Kings University College, London, Canada"
