Quantitative findings from a survey instrument completed by 247 parents were extended and elaborated by qualitative findings from in-depth interviews with 27 of the survey respondents. Although parents used a variety of information sources when considering an implant, cochlear implant centers and doctors comprised their major source of information. Most parents found the decisionmaking process difficult and stressful, but a proportion reported finding the decision easy, believing that there was no other option for their child, and were keen for implantation to proceed as soon as possible. Implications for professionals working with families are discussed.

Responses to a series of interview questions relating to change were used to explore and examine the dimensions of the facilitators's role. Facilitators report that the role is complex, often uncertain and requires an understanding of schools and their cultures and schools' and teachers' previous experiences in professional development programs. The findings from this paper suggest that an effective facilitator creates for the teachers involved, a space for discussion, reflection and challenge and that this space provides for and legitimates teacher renewal.

Our public education systems also reflect a shared history of educational ideas and responses to the challenges of increasingly heterogeneous populations. In both countries, most deaf students are integrated into regular schools, and at the same time official recognition has been given to native sign language. We illustrate the ways in which inclusion can expose and dismantle -or alternatively, serve to fortify -the barriers of 'ableist' tenets; and contend that the presence of deaf students in regular classrooms must be underpinned by transformative practices that go beyond 'simple inclusion'.
