Statistics show that Māori are over-represented in all negative indicators of special educational needs.
Mātauranga motuhake is based on qualitative research that followed a kaupapa Māori process to present a uniquely Māori perspective on special education. The research shows the whānau as the main pillar supporting children with special educational needs. The examples given in the report show how some schools and services are able to offer successful support within a Māori kaupapa which is both Māori - and child-centred.

Kaupapa Māori research is a generic term used to describe a range of practice relating particularly to research by, with, and for Māori. The use of kaupapa Māori models and frameworks within one qualitative research project "Mātauranga Motuhake" includes a wharenui model, access to research sites by whakawhānaungatanga and an empowering consent process. A wānanga drew on the principles derived from the Treaty of Waitangi for analyses of both the process and the content of the research with examples from one case study presented here.
