Description
Identifying Special Needs provides expert guidance to recognising and categorising specific characteristics of various special needs. This comprehensive guide offers easy-to-use checklists to help teachers quickly gather information to determine whether individual students need specialised attention and services.
Drawing on her experience as an educational psychologist and special education teacher, Glynis Hannell provides diagnostic criteria and supporting notes for a wide range of special educational needs, including autism spectrum disorders, communication disorders, social and emotional issues, cognitive disabilities and specific learning disorders. The book includes practical advice on how to provide help and support.
The fully revised third edition includes additional information on guiding conversations with parents, children and colleagues, as well as advice for parents on selecting outside professionals. Photocopyable checklists can be easily downloaded from the companion website.
