Abstract

This paper presents findings from two studies that each aimed to develop understandings of how to more effectively support Mori learners with special education needs. The first study occurred just prior to Specialist Education Services (SES) move into the Ministry of Education. The second study comes from the Enhancing Effective Practice in Special Education (EEPiSE) project, Both studies identified the importance of developing culturally responsive whanau-
relations for including Maori students in education.

An example of an immersion school's response for including a student identified as having severe behaviour is presented from the EEPiSE study to exemplify what culturally responsive whanau relations looks like.
