This volume would be a superb acquisition for anyone new to the post of SENCO or SEN teacher and of equal value to those undertaking postgraduate training in this area. The individual essays are written in consistent style and are exceptionally clear and accessible...
Additional materials, exemplar learning and behaviour plans, level descriptors and schemes of work are available through a special website that supports the book and adds significantly to its value in the classroom. This book is full of practical strategies that are lucidly presented and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone working with the field of SEND.

A wealth of ideas and support for teaching children with SEND. The book identifies strategies for specific learning difficulties as well as inclusion for all. It supports with working with parents and other agencies to deliver the best outcomes for children. The real life case studies really help to show the theory in practice.

This is a very good text with relevant information, theories and challenges to practices for the professional to consider. In fact, it is so well presented I would like all teachers, SENCO and teachers assistants to read this.
