Description

This text is designed as a practical guide both for student teachers and practising teachers who are dealing with mildly to moderately handicapped children in normal schools. It aims to provide them with an immediate and comprehensive source of practical ideas for use in ordinary classrooms. The author has drawn upon his own teaching experience and upon research to identify well tried and tested approaches, covering basic academic skills improvement, behaviour management, social skills development and curriculum adaptation.
