Special needs education/social work. An influential professional in their field describes the relationship between these two disciplines. As early as 1963, this figure was involved in a Rennes-based irts project and defended the idea of housing trainee workers all under one roof in order to get them to understand each other and to cooperate while maintaining the niche specialisms of both professions. What can be said of these relationships in Quebec where the training is different? There, as here, the hegemony of managers is causing discontent and crises among professionals.
