Covering a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities
this book examines the perspectives of teachers, teaching
assistants, children and parents with a focus on specific
educational aspects, such as curriculum and pedagogy. Referencing
recent policy changes in the special needs and inclusive education
context, the book offers an introduction to the special needs and
inclusive education field for teachers, SEN Coordinators and other
allied professionals (e.g. speech and communication therapists,
educational psychologists) as well as parents and policy makers,
by: * Examining the lived experience of parents, teachers and
children/young people with special educational needs/ disability in
education * Illustrating some of their experienced tensions and how
they deal with them * Exploring the significance of these
experiences for policy and practice The book features 12 engaging
case studies that are based on in-depth interviews with parents,
teachers or teaching assistants and children or young people,
exploring their experiences as regards their education. These
accounts emphatically highlight positive models of practice as well
as negative practices to avoid. In this way the book contributes to
the professional learning of teachers and allied professionals. "A
critical part of understanding any complex social phenomenon is to
listen (really listen) to the views of the stakeholders - the
children and young people, the parents and the professional
educators. In this thoughtful book, Brahm Norwich, a leading
scholar in the field of Disability and Special Educational Needs,
faithfully presents these views through 12 insightful case studies.
The stories told are direct and share the tensions, dilemmas,
balances and dynamics of life. It is a very thought provoking book
and an excellent addition to the field." Dr. Graeme Douglas,
Professor of Disability and Special Educational Needs, University
of Birmingham, UK "An invaluable book about the importance of
getting to know each and every child, comprising up to date case
studies that contextualise the experiences of 12 learners
identified with special educational needs." Professor Lani Florian,
Bell Chair of Education, University of Edinburgh, UK "In the era of
person-centred planning, this book is a timely and essential key
text for both general and specialist practitioners working for
children and young people with special educational needs and/ or
disability. The structured case study format provides accessible,
comprehensive and detailed insights across a range of ages and
types of educational placement. Whilst evidence from the individual
experiences of children, their families and teachers are its main
substance, the book also draws together case study themes,
including advice directly given by parents and teachers to the
readers. Professor Norwich is to be highly commended for providing
this original, scholarly and useful research to the international
field of special education." Professor Kevin Woods, Professor of
Educational and Child Psychology, University of Manchester, UK "In
his new book of 12 case studies of children and young people with a
range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), Brahm
Norwich skilfully presents the perspectives of the young people
themselves, their parents, and the teachers and teaching assistants
who support them. These careful, illuminating accounts bring to
life the realities, complexities, challenges - and also the
positive aspects - of the young people themselves and those that
care and support them. They remind us all of the importance of
seeing each child as an individual. Required reading for all who
work with children with SEND." Professor Geoff Lindsay, Centre for
Educational Development, Appraisal and Research (CEDAR), University
of Warwick, UK
