The third roundtable: Mainstreaming Disability in Practice: the case for Inclusive Education was the last in a series of three international events looking at the relationship between disability, poverty, and mainstreaming disability in development.

Held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, May 2005, the South East Asia regional event was hosted by the Disability Action Council, Cambodia and organised by Healthlink Worldwide, UK as part of the Disability Knowledge and Research programme (Disability KaR) funded by the Department of International Development (DfID).

The interest and enthusiasm of the 60 participants prompted the development of this electronic newlsetter, which examines some of the issues raised during the three days, including the inclusion of deaf children in mainstream schools, the importance of giving parents a voice, disabled teachers, and research opportunities in inclusive education.
