Supporting Children with Severe Learning Difficulties: A Practical Guide to Maths Development. All children require mathematical understanding to access as full a life as possible. This book explores the curriculum required to accommodate the various difficulties faced by children with severe and profound learning difficulties, describing how their mathematical thinking first develops and how it can be nurtured for real understanding and support of essential life skills. The book explains key concepts such as quantity recognition, counting, sequence, measurement, comparisons, space, shape, time, and monetary value, drawing on neurological and pedagogical theories to inform its approach. Practical ideas and activities are supported by illustrative diagrams, case studies, and detailed online resources, making it an invaluable guide for teachers, special educational needs coordinators, teaching assistants, and parents. With the right strategies, each child can develop the mathematical skills essential to everyday living, and this book provides a comprehensive and inspiring approach to supporting their development.
