Synopsis

This book has the potential to become the textbook on special educational needs. Written specifically with the requirements of student teachers, trainee educational psychologists, SENCO's and SEN Specialist Teachers in mind, it provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the major issues in special education. Whilst recognising the complex and difficult nature of many special educational needs, the authors place a firm emphasis on inclusion and suggest practical strategies enabling professionals to maximise inclusion at the same time as recognising and supporting diversity.

Key features include:

Takes full account of linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity unlike many other texts in the field;

Addresses the new SEN Code of Practice and is completely up to date;

Recognises current concerns over literacy and numeracy and devotes two chapters to these areas of need;

Offers comprehensive and detailed coverage of major issues in special educational needs in one volume

Accessibly written with the needs of the student and practitioner in mind.
