Special Educational Needs and Disability in Context: An Essential Compendium of Practice, Policy and Theory

The author contextualises current practices and policymaking with discussion of themes that resonated across the years in the field of special education, and, as now, special educational, and additional learning and support, needs and disability and inclusive education, and situates these within the often controversial historical and political contexts of treating young people who experience barriers to learning differently. She goes on to guide readers through the very latest legislation, theory, and practice across the UK and in doing so provides resource material that will engage and support children and their families in the often-complex world of assessment and planning.

Teachers, SENCOs, headteachers, families, carers, and anyone else with responsibilities for, or interest in, supporting children and young people who experience special educational or additional support needs will find this an essential and, above all useful, companion.
