This paper considers the situation in countries of Central and
Eastern Europe, examining particular developments that have
occurred in recent years and how these compare with overall
trends internationally. This analysis suggests certain barriers to
progress, including attitudes within communities towards certain
groups of children, traditional practices in the field of special
education, and the effects of the depressed economic situation
within the region. The paper concludes with a consideration of
possible opportunities for improvements in provision and an
outline of issues that need to be kept in mind.
