'This book is timely. I hope that it will be very widely read' -Mary
Warnock. With a Foreword from Baroness Mary Warnock, this book
provides a comprehensive overview of the field of special educational
needs (SEN). It contains chapters written by a range of experts on
different aspects of SEN, and is full of practical suggestions for how
to achieve effective, inclusive practice. Various research
perspectives are considered, the value of labels is examined and the
need to recognize the overlapping characteristics between different
syndromes is highlighted. Chapters focus on translating theory into
classroom practice, and include case studies covering the Birth to 19
age range. There is coverage of: - SEN and the state of research - SEN
and legal issues - parents' perspectives - speech and language
difficulties - dyspraxia and occupational therapy - dyslexia -
dyscalculia - Auditory Processing Disorder - Behavioural Optometry -
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Asperger Syndrome
and Autistic Spectrum Disorder - Tourette Syndrome. Ideal for those
undertaking teacher education courses, as well as experienced
teachers, therapists and policy makers, this book is a guide to
understanding and supporting learners with additional needs.
