There are many more children with learning differences and
difficulties in our schools today. Their needs are varied and
complex and professionals must find appropriate ways to enhance
their learning. The value of play is endorsed in policy initiatives
including The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, so
professionals can be reassured that more time to play is in line
with the latest thinking.
Christine Macintyre emphasises the importance of creating an
environment where children become confident, independent learners,
increasingly able to use their imaginations, care for others and to
take safe risks. This fully revised edition of Play for Children
with Special Needs includes new research findings and explains
their implications for practice.
This book then enables those supporting children to:
- understand the benefits of play and how to adapt different
scenarios to support children who do not find it easy to play
- observe children as they play so that any difficulties can be
identified early
- analyse different play areas so that the different kinds of
learning (intellectual, creative, motor, social and emotional) are
appreciated.
Play for Children with Special Needs, 2nd edition enables
practitioners to appreciate the contribution that play makes to the
education of all children, whether they have special needs or not.
It is for parents, teachers, teaching assistants and nursery
professionals as well as those who care for children at home.
