Description

Understanding and supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is crucial for providing them with an inclusive education. This second edition of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in Schools provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, covering key topics such as bullying, social, emotional and mental health, and collaboration with families.

Janice Wearmouth draws on her extensive experience and research to explore SEND legislation within its historical, geographical, social and political contexts. She examines various approaches to assessing and addressing common forms of SEND, including literacy and numeracy difficulties and behavioural concerns related to social, emotional and mental health.

At the heart of this book is a focus on understanding children and young people with SEND as individual human beings with their own hopes, dreams and entitlement to the best possible education. This resource offers practical guidance for teachers, educators and anyone involved in supporting students with SEND.
