nasen is the leading organisation in the UK
which aims to promote the education, training, advancement and
development of all those with special and additional support needs.
nasen reaches a huge readership through its journals: British Journal of
Special Education, Support for Learning, new on-line publication Journal
of Research in Special Educational Needs and the magazine Special.
nasen formerly the National Association for
Special Educational Needs was formed in 1992 when the National
Association for Remedial Education (NARE) amalgamated with the National
Council for Special Education (NCSE). This followed a decision by the
two organisations to create a single, powerful voice to promote equal
opportunities for all learners.
NCSE had its roots in special schools and
was created in 1973 when the Association for Special Education merged
with the Guild of Teachers of Backward Children and the College of
Special Education. NARE began in 1963 and was largely inspired by those
working in the remedial services developed in the 1950s. Nasen now
operates at many levels and is open to all those who wish to advance the
education of those with special needs.
