(Ebook) Special Educational Needs and Disability: The Basics, 4th Edition by JANICE. WEARMOUTH ISBN 9781032215907, 1032215909

Special Educational Needs and Disability provides a clear, coherent overview of the historical development of the field of special educational, or additional learning or support needs and disability, and discussion of important past and current social and political contexts in which this took place, as well as changes in the law across time. It offers broad coverage of a range of needs and disabilities, and how effectively to identify and support those young people who experience such needs. This revised 4th edition covers recent legislative changes across the UK, expanded discussion of key areas such as social, emotional and mental health, a new chapter on literacy difficulties, and further fair, balanced and open discussion of up-to-date evidence that indicates how young people who experience barriers to their learning are affected by factors associated with such marketization, for example competition between schools, and the academies programme. Special Educational Needs and Disability serves as essential reading for trainee and practising teachers, members of governing boards in schools and colleges, policy makers, and all those working directly with learners and their families.
