Special Education Needs: A Texbook Book

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 recognizing 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 maximize inclusion at the same time as recognizing and supporting diversity. The book takes full account of linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity, unlike many other texts in the field. It addresses the new SEN Code of Practice, is completely up to date, and recognizes current concerns about literacy and numeracy, devoting two chapters to these areas of need. The authors offer comprehensive and detailed coverage of major issues in special educational needs in one accessibly written volume with the needs of the student and practitioner in mind.Read More
