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 and dyscalculia
Auditory Processing Disorder
