In this theme, the teachers are the students who arestudying different fields of SEND, supported by teacher educators. The second theme studies different forms oflesson studies carried out by researchers and teachers in the collaboration focused aspects of content that are ofimportance for students in SEND.Research limitations/implications – The papers focus on areas of education with a limited researchtradition, and as a result, the studies may be seen as starting points for further research. The results so far lackgeneralisability. Therefore, the researchers have to test the findings further under different conditions and withwider groups of teachers and students.Practical implications – The results of the papers can be used to develop both SEND teacher education, andcollaborative professional development for in-service SEND teachers. This issue will, therefore, be of interest toschool and system leaders.Originality/value – The papers contribute initial findings from an under-researched area and also combinelesson study with methods and designs not previously explored.
