The study will include analyses of files of 125 Danish students from a ‘helpschool’ that focuses on children with special education needs who were examined by the school psychologist and referred to special needs education in the 1935-45, and ‘the present’ period, an analysis of files of 100 students referred to special education by school psychologists in 2005-10. Through a Foucauldian lens, this study will analyze the ways in which the childrens’ files function as a technology that produces a “truth” accepted by school officials.
