About this title

Review

An accessible, engaging book that is comprehensive and compelling.  An essential resource demonstrating how to teach inclusive classes successfully. (SirReadaLot.org 2006-05-19)

"A timely antidote to both the strain felt by teachers addressing the challenges of inclusion and the tendency to reduce children and their potential to an acronym. The book is a valuable resource for teachers seeking a clear explanation of the current state of play in special education and information about the legal requirements on them explicit in the move to inclusive education." (PsycCRITIQUES, August 2007, Vol. 52(33) 2007-10-12)
