Exams

Hi everyone
I'm trying to find out why GCSE exams were stopped in special needs schools in the 1990s? Does anyone know? Was it the Education Authority who had decided that students with physical disabilities were not able to take exams? Where can I evidence to back up my article on special needs education? Hoping someone will respond soon.
