Customer Reviews

Read this if you have a child with SEN in your class!
I found this book a useful resource for managing the children with SEN in my early years class - it covers everything from working with parents and other professionals in partnership to the implementation of individual education plans and meeting the child's needs through what we plan for them to learn.

The book emphasises the need for everyone to work together to meet the child's needs - it helped me to avoid some pitfalls during my first year in special nursery education.

I think the book's aimed more at professionals, but parents will find the content interesting and useful too.
