This book focuses on the relationship that schools have with
parents and carers, especially in the early stages of behavioral
difficulty. It aims to promote the best possible partnership with
parents in what is often a sensitive and emotionally fraught
situation.
Learning through play is a well-established principle that
underpins much educational practice, yet it is often overlooked in
association with children with autistic spectrum disorders. This
book considers the wide-ranging benefits of developing play and
taking it into drama with these children. The authors demonstrate
how to implement such approaches via a highly practical, structured
developmental framework, within which participants may gradually
learn to be creative. They also discuss the psychology and pedagogy
of autism in relation to play and drama and connect them to
everyday learning situations using a wealth of examples.
The aim of this practical and user-friendly A to Z handbook is to
enable the interested reader to gain quick and easy access to
entries relating to or associated with emotional and behavioral
difficulties. It focuses on adult problems as well as those of
children and adolescents.

Developed in conjunction with practitioners and teachers, The Primary Behaviour Cookbook provides highly effective, practical strategies for responding to and resolving behavioural issues in primary classrooms. Consisting of over forty 'recipes', the book's unique format enables practitioners to quickly and easily access information and advice on dealing with specific behaviours. Each 'recipe' details strategies and interventions for immediate application in the classroom setting, considers possible causes of the given behaviour and offers helpful approaches for responding to the child's needs in the longer term. From disengagement to impulsivity, attention-seeking, defiance, bullying, anxiety and aggression, the book's five sections cover a broad spectrum of behaviours falling within five broader categories: Getting things done: supporting positive student engagement and achievement Dealing with disruption: increasing motivation and skills to facilitate learning Social interactions: resolving problematic situations that occur between pupils. Emotional distress: understanding distress and developing coping strategies Behaviours of special concern: recognising behaviours associated with autism, trauma, or abuse. Underpinned by positive psychology, and emphasizing the importance of constructive relationships, communication, inclusion and child wellbeing, this is an indispensable resource for primary school teachers and assistants, behaviour support consultants, SENDCOs and educational psychologists.

substantiate, and extend current knowledge on the development of
children with high incidence disabilities--most notably, learning
disabilities, behavioral disorders, and mild mental retardation.
The second is to honor the career of Professor Barbara K. Keogh and
her contributions to the developmental study of children with high
incidence disabilities. Internationally recognized for her
accomplishments, Keogh is esteemed for her originality and clarity
of thought. For nearly forty years, she has set an extraordinary
model of analytic rigor combined with a kind and generous manner
that inspires, supports, and sets an exacting standard of
scholarship. The contributing authors to this volume represent only
a fraction of the students and scholars touched by her
distinguished career. |
