Identifying Special Needs provides expert guidance to recognising
and categorising the specific characteristics of a range of special
needs. Drawing on her experience as an educational psychologist and
special education teacher, Glynis Hannell provides easy-to-use
checklists to help teachers quickly and accurately gather
information to determine whether individual students need
specialised attention and services, and guidelines on how to
provide this help. This unique book offers diagnostic criteria and
supporting notes for a wide range of special educational needs,
including autism spectrum disorders, communication disorders,
social and emotional issues, cognitive disabilities and specific
learning disorders. Relevant to both primary and secondary school
students, all checklists can be photocopied for ease of use and
downloaded from the companion website. This fully revised third
edition includes additional information on guiding conversations
with parents, children and colleagues, as well as advice to parents
on how to select outside professionals. The practical checklists
and resources help teachers and educational professionals to:
Identify and understand special needs screen any student for
possible special needs; understand the causes and characteristics
of various types of special needs; link classroom observations to
diagnostic criteria used by specialists. Profile individual
differences create accurate and comprehensive profiles for
individual students, including positive characteristics; record
each student's unique pattern of development within a special needs
'label'. Work together with colleagues and parents quickly record
important information and avoid writing time-consuming reports;
request and prepare for further assessment and intervention;
coordinate information from several teachers or professionals;
involve parents in observing and discussing their child's pattern
of strengths and challenges; plan effective, inclusive intervention
in the classroom setting; follow up with recommended further
reading, websites and professional references. Based on
internationally accepted diagnostic criteria, and relevant for
educational professionals worldwide, this is an essential book for
teachers, psychologists and other specialists to ensure that the
children and adolescents in their care receive the support they
need to succeed.
