Abstract

This paper argues the need for the setting up of an Affective Needs Support Resource to complement needs support functions currently being implemented in Queensland State high schools. Such a resource is valuable in its own right for enhancing the quality of life of all students but is seen to be an urgent need if the integration of disabled students is to succeed.
