John Parry

John Parry is a Senior Lecturer in Education and Early Childhood at the Open University.

Before moving into Higher Education he was a practitioner and teacher who had worked with young children and their families for over 25 years, spending much of this time with Portage, a home-visiting educational service for pre-school children with learning difficulties.

He is a longstanding ally of the campaign for inclusive education, and endeavours to bring this commitment to equality and social justice to his teaching, writing and research. The focus of his publications and field work has been the inclusion of young children in their local pre-school settings, and the early friendships between disabled children and their peers.
