Summary
  • "What, if anything, is 'special' about teaching children with special or exceptional learning needs? This book addresses this question, looking at pupils' special learning needs including low attainment, learning difficulties, language difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems and sensory needs." "Some special needs groups (for example, dyslexia) have argued strongly for the need for particular specialist approaches. In contrast, many proponents of inclusion have argued that 'good teaching is good teaching for all' and that all children benefit from similar approaches. Both positions fail to scrutinize this issue rigorously and coherently, and it is this aspect which distinguishes this book."
  • "This book is indispensable reading for students, policy makers, researchers and professionals in the field of special educational needs and inclusion."--Jacket
