In contemporary society that is getting more and more modern maximal revelation of person’s possibilities, successful adaptation to the needs of labour market have great importance, therefore, effective and timely vocational counselling has decisive influence on person’s successful socialization and integration. The most vulnerable part of the society – people having special educational needs (SEN) belongs to the great risk group that is at risk to experience social exclusion, become long-term unemployed and find themselves below the limit of poverty. In 2011 in Lithuania the action research was performed in which 95 students having SEN participated. During the research internal and external factors conditioning the success of vocational counselling have become distinct. Stable relations in a family, adequate evaluation of one’s wishes and possibilities, early planning of vocational career are important preconditions for vocational adaptation of students having SEN.

DYSLEXIA is a specific difficulty in learning how to use written notation, not attributable to generally low intellectual performance, emotional difficulties, or external factors. While its existence as a condition in its own right had been suspected for over a century, it is only much more recently that relatively definite tests for its existence have been developed. Even now, no one test can conclusively show its presence or absence. Local education authorities must provide for the special educational needs of children under their care, though it is settled law that the authorities cannot themselves be sued for breach of those duties (X (Minors) v. Bedfordshire C.C. [1995] 2 A.C. 633). However, X contains strong dicta that where the plaintiff can demonstrate negligence by particular members of staff, such as educational psychologists, then those members of staff will be personally liable, and the authority will be vicariously liable. Phelps v. Hillingdon L.B.C. [1999] 1 W.L.R. 500 raises the question whether this is actually so. The Court of Appeal, reversing Garland J., have now held that there is no such liability. The court heard that even if (contrary to their view) the plaintiff in the case could establish professional negligence by an educational psychologist through failure to diagnose her dyslexia, and that this negligence caused her appreciable harm, none the less she had no cause of action.

Providing excellent service is mandatory, the customer feels the warmth of the employee, hospitality, smile, responsiveness, and tenderness. The company must work hard, encourage performance improvement, commitment, stimulate self-enthusiasm by promoting career development. This research is intended to look at internal and external performance factors. The reason for using quantitative methods is simple, and can show clarity of interpretation. To collect data, questionnaires were distributed. Respondents answered according to predetermined criteria (Likert scale), then the data were analyzed using regression. The results of the study confirm that performance can develop significantly if internal and external factors are built up. In the long term career strategies are needed, but in operational (daily) efficacy and commitment are needed

<p>The purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate the systems level intervention which was initiated by an RTLB (Resource Teachers’ of Learning and Behaviour) cluster, through EPF (enhancing programming funding) and with local Principals’ Association support in order to improve the SENCo (special education needs coordinator) service (outcomes for students) within the region. This intervention based on an inclusive paradigm involved creating dedicated SENCo positions within each of 19 schools involved and assisting in setting up special need’s committees, gaining release time for SENCos, negotiating and arranging professional development, developing a reporting system for SENCos, developing interagency collaboration and fostering a community of practise among the SENCos. This study found that the RTLB cluster, working collaboratively with the local principals, successfully initiated the EPF application in order to aid in the creation of the SENCo positions within all of the schools in the region, along with leading the project of professional development and supporting SENCos in schools in order to provide a better service for special education students within the region. New Zealand’s education system historically either ignored students with special education needs or placed them into special settings. Special education and the Tomorrow Schools policy provided the next step toward inclusive practices. However, the tools to implement shifts in paradigm are found through; professional development, communities of practice, collaborative-consultative approaches, teacher/school change and the management and facilitation of the transfer of learning. The research clearly indicates that further investigation is needed to understand the role of the SENCo within New Zealand schools. Is there a place for SENCos in our post Special Education 2000 schools? Do; release time, PD, professional support and role development affect the SENCo role and does a SENCo service impact on the service provided to students with special educational needs? There is much scope for future research within this area. It would be interesting to follow what happens with this group of SENCos in the long term. A longitudinal study of this kind would be able to answer questions about the long term implications and outcomes that may arise. Do the systems put in place lead to more inclusive classroom practices within the region and better outcomes of the students? Is this fledgling community of practice maintained and do the SENCos take up the mantle of change agents within their schools? It would also be worthwhile to look at the other two clusters who have initiated their own versions of this project. Undertaking case studies for schools which create SENCo positions would shed further light on what works and what doesn’t at the school level and the outcomes for students with special educational needs.</p>

Society undergoes changes with passage of time due to internal and external factors. However, more radical nature of changes takes place due to external factors. Such changes prompt social reorganization. Kashmiri culture and society is no exception to this rule where penetration of different exogenous influence has led to the process of active assimilation, re-orientation and accommodation of over-all socio-cultural setup. In diverse societies inhabitants are differentiated on the basis of colour, caste, creed, etc. In the same way the inhabitants of the Kashmir valley are stratified and include many marginalized communities such as Watals, Dombs, Galwans, Dhobis, Hanjis, etc. These marginalized communities are assigned the lowest position in Kashmiri society only because of their profession and caste. Although the dominant religion of masses in Kashmir is Islam but actually it was only in sixteenth century that Islam replaced Hinduism in Kashmir. Islam preaches equality and universal brotherhood, and it negates distinction of its followers based on any ground. Thus with the advent of Islam in the valley it can be expected that the above mentioned distinctions would be diminished. But that is not the case. Even after adopting Islam the caste restrictions of Hinduism, which was prevalent before the inception of Islam, remained deeply rooted in the minds of Kashmiris. Those who were at the top of the hierarchy still corner all the privileges for them and the weaker sections are deprived and marginalized. This article attempts to highlight this discrimination, which is visible in Kashmir’s contemporary society as well.
