The Special Education Handbook
Description:... This is a comprehensive A-Z guide to the whole field of Special Educational Needs, focusing on the current UK legislative, institutional and educational frameworks. The author has gathered into one volume a wide range of information essential to good SEN practice in mainstream and special schools, including legislative changes since 1944 and a list of terms, acronyms and abbreviations. A classified index is designed to help the reader to plot a course through the topics of current interest and the alphabetical entries cover six broad themes: basic terms, ideas and values; venues relating to special education and school organisation; roles, duties and responsibilities, procedures and rules; individual differences among learners with SEN; curriculum, assessment and resources; and pedagogy. The Special Education Handbook will assist teachers, classroom support assistants, governors, parents/carers and all involved professionally in the identification of and provision for SEN.
