Description
Book SynopsisProvides you with the required knowledge and skills development around special educational needs and disability (SEND) as you progress through your early teaching career. Using an audit tool, the text builds on any previous training enabling you to ground and embed your practice for children and young people presenting with SEND. It recognises the increasing challenges you may face and distils the theoretical into usable techniques in the classroom. Critical but also practical, the text guides you through research-based concepts and reflective tasks central to understanding and supporting issues around SEND.
Trade Review"This book is written for a practitioner by a practitioner so it is very useful as an immediate reference book and to get quick answers that can be explored in school thus ensuring high quality support for students. I now have a battered much thumbed copy in paperback….Once you are familiar with the layout of the book, this comes with use, it’s a quick easy and accessible book to navigate – 105 pages. The fonts used and diagrams are easy on the eye…In the appendices there are useful analytical tools, these can be adapted and or developed to suit your own schools and pupils needs. This I found useful as primer for whole departmental CPD...Should it be on your shelf or in the briefcase – yes."
