This book shows that the teaching of expressive arts (art, creative writing, drama, music, oracy, dance and physical education) can enrich and improve the education of children with learning difficulties, through creative self-expression. ...

With the introduction of the Code of Practice, all teachers will be involved in the identification and assessment of children's special educational needs and will be dealing with parents as potential partners.

There will be a great need for effective interaction with parents to enhance the professionals' understanding of the child and to increase the chances of co-operation and involvement of the parents.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Recent legislation and cutbacks to central support services mean that the responsibility for meeting special educational needs is resting ever more squarely on the shoulders of ordinary classroom teachers. Yet few feel wholly confident in their ability to adapt work within the national curriculum to meet the whole range of needs, or coordinate successful individual education plans for children who, for whatever reason, are not learning as well as they might.

This book will increase that confidence. Aimed at busy class teachers, special needs coordinators, heads and teachers in training, it shows how the teacher can build differentiation into planning lessons and schemes of work. It describes workable strategies for managing the most common behavior difficulties and meeting special needs in language, literacy and mathematics.

At a whole school level, it offers practical guidance on reviewing special needs policies, assessment, record keeping, and the management of roles and resources. The focus is on the way in which schools can do a good job in meeting special needs themselves, within the everyday constraints of time, money and energy, and in so doing provide genuinely inclusive opportunities for all children.

This edition has been comprehensively updated and rewritten to cover the revised SEN Code of Practice and related legislation, new directions in inclusion and all the major curriculum initiatives now in place in primary schools. ... Read more

This new edition of the award-winning Small Steps Forward includes up-to-date research and practice, providing parents and carers with the information they need and a host of ideas to encourage their child's development.

She deals with general issues, such as behavior management, toilet-training and sleep management, which may be encountered by parents of children with any form of disability - physical, learning or sensory. She also provides an outline of child development so that parents can place their child's progress in context, and gives practical advice on coping with stress of having a child with special needs.

Small Steps Forward by Sarah Newman

This is a great book written by a very impressive woman.Sarah Newman discovered she had an autistic child when her first son was a few months old.Her first reaction was panic andher next thought was to get as much help as she could.She searched for abook on the subject and found that there were none.So Sarah set to andwrote one that made use of her experience parenting her own special needschild.The result is the book - Small Steps Forward.

As you would expectfrom the circumstances surrounding its creation, the book is down to earthand practical.It is full of the experience that Sarah gained in the dayto day problems of managing, entertaining and helping a small child.Sarahis a practical and highly intelligent woman, so there is plenty of soundadvice on how to make the best use of professional advice and where to findpracticaql help.The book is written with real understanding for theproblems involved and comes to the re-assuring conclusion that parentsshould remember "it is you who know your own child best."

I read thisbook when my wife was preparing the illustrations and found the experiencevery moving.It gave me a small insight intothe problems and pleasuresof parenting a special needs child and struck me as a book that would be agod-send to any parent of such a child.In fact me and my wife havealready given it to the parents of one such child.Furthermore I believethat any parents of a child under 5 would find hundreds of good ideas andlots of good advice in the book..

The illustrations are beautifulcapturing the "different" charm and beauty that belongs to Downs Syndrome,Autistic, and other special needs children.Parents or young special needschildren will find this a beautiful book as well as a supremely useful one. I heartily recommend this book. Nick Mellersh ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The young person, who has had special education help while at school, often faces a confused and uncertain future when leaving school. This book is about bringing continuity, coherence and co-ordination into that time. Only by working together to agreed ends and co-ordinating the use of limited resources will reasonable opportunities be made available. The investment in special education in the school period will be wasted, and the cost of long term dependence will be high, if transition is not supported. Transition from school, through further education and vocational preparation, to an adult working life is often made difficult or impossible by a lack of understanding of this important phase and process. This book defines this transition. The criteria for its three stages - the final years of school, further education and training, and entry to work and independent living - are set out and examples are given to illustrate what might be possible. Individuals should have a transition plan to which education, health, employment and social services, as well as voluntary agencies, contribute.This book is intended to help families, young people and a wide range of professionals and administrators to understand and make a more effective contribution to the transition of young people with disabilities and learning difficulties. ...

Product Description

Experts have yet to reach consensus about what a learning disability is, how to determine if a child has one, and what to do about it. Leading researcher and clinician Deborah Waber offers an alternative to the prevailing view of learning disability as a problem contained within the child. Instead, she shows how learning difficulties are best understood as a function of the developmental interaction between the child and the world. Integrating findings from education, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, she offers a novel approach with direct practical implications. Detailed real-world case studies illustrate how this approach can promote positive outcomes for children who struggle in school.
