Cover Story: Current practices regarding inclusive education vary enormously depending on a wide range of issues, specifically the context and culture of an educational system. This article focuses on one state in Australia, that of Western Australia. By applying a review of five decades of archival data, changes to education for learners with disabilities are critiqued. The analysis considers five a priori themes related to legislation and policy, support, curriculum, teacher education and parental choice. Here, the discussion teases out the impact of these changes on the competing paradigms of special and inclusive educational practice. Finally, critical reflection provides valuable insight into future planning for all educational systems to reform practice to become more inclusive. View this paper
