Offering more than just advice for classroom practice, this core textbook focuses on the issues and debates surrounding SEND to encourage readers to think critically and reflect upon topical issues and their relation to practice. The author bridges the gap between issues and debates in the wider context, and specific areas of debates and discourse surrounding specific learning difficulties, drawing on a continuation of themes and evidence-based research. Each chapter includes a range of learning features to encourage criticality and deepen understanding. These are: Exercises and activities Pause for reflection boxes Case studies Recommended reading Taking an interdisciplinary and globally comparative approach, and drawing on a range of perspectives, this book will equip both students and professionals with a critical overview of contemporary research, alongside policy and legislation, to empower and inform them in a range of debates surrounding SEND and specific syndromes and difficulties.
