"This book provides trainee and newly qualified primary teachers, as well as governors, with a broad introduction to the concepts and key issues underlying the teaching of pupils with special educational needs." "The approach throughout is positive and practical and the presentation is always jargon-free. The authors give practitioners the encouragement to draw on their own and colleagues' expertise and set about coping with children with special educational needs. The book provides a useful and varied framework of ideas, and offers starting points and guidance for the integration of children and for good mainstream teaching practice." "This is an essential resource for all who wish to develop expertise or to expand their knowledge base in this area."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
