Synopsis

This is an invaluable and up to date text on inclusive practice for all primary trainees and teachers and for those working towards the National Award SEN Co-ordination. It provides a critical approach to inclusion combining both theory and practice while promoting critical thinking about the complex issues involved. Scenarios are used as the basis for unpicking major issues and provide the opportunity for learning in context, and chapter reflections encourage deep thinking about the key learning points.
