`This book provides a succinct overview of SEN policy and is likely to
be a useful resource for those undertaking accredited courses related
to SEN and inclusion′ - SENCO Update ′The combination of the
theoretical and practical aspects of special educational needs makes
this book a valuable resource for practitioners and should enable them
to develop reflective and insightful practice.′ - Michael Shevlin,
Trinity College Dublin, TES Extra Special Needs `This is a
comprehensive and thorough overview of the Special Educational Needs
(SEN) landscape as it is in the UK today. The book is very clearly
aimed at specialists in the field, and Michael Farrell incorporates
developments that are sometimes ignored - emotional intelligence for
example. There is a nice touch in that each chapter concludes with
′thinking points′. I could see that the book could make a sound
basis for a training course on SEN, based around these. The book is
highly readable though I expect it is more likely to be used as a
reference text, or, as I suggested above, as a basis for training.
However it is used, it is invaluable as an up to date assessment of
SEN in 2004 and highly recommended to anyone working, or planning to
work in this field′ - Nurtuting Potential `Essential reading for
every SENCO, in fact, for everyone involved in special educational
needs. By examining the background to key areas the book gives
teachers, managers and advisers the depth of understanding that is
necessary to make informed choices about what constitutes the most
effective practice′ - Dr Tony Lingard, Head of Learning Support,
Cambourne Science and Community College `With its scope and depth of
coverage, this book provides a useful resource through combining
background information, theory and practice as well as the tools for
further research for both novice and experienced practitioner′ - Ms
Lyn Hurst, Headteacher This book provides a `route map′ for special
education. Through examining related disciplines, which illuminate the
field, it considers how special education can be better understood.
The author views issues in special education within the wider
disciplines of history, sociology, law, politics, ethics, economics,
medicine and psychology. He looks at the national, local and school
frameworks in which special education operates, and shows how
provision for pupils with special educational needs is influenced by
structures, procedures and practices at national, local and school
levels. Features include: } the ethics of preventing disability }
′lesson′s history } identifying value in sociological perspectives
} psychological and other Models of teaching } aspects of the National
Framework } aspects of the Local Framework } the School SEN Policy }
the Curriculum and School Organization This book is essential reading
