First published in 1988. The mounting concern in schools over
widespread failure in academic achievement, greater disaffection in
children and the lack of confidence in many school leavers are
highlighted by the difficulties experienced by children who have
special educational needs. Within this group the importance of the
child's evaluation of him or herself - i.e. self-esteem - is a
neglected issue. This book investigates how the level of
self-esteem appears to influence social behaviour and school
performance in children with special educational needs. It
discusses the practical steps that can be taken to assess and
enhance self-esteem in children with special needs and evaluates
their effectiveness. The author emphasises the discrepancy between
the performance of children who have special educational needs in
ordinary classrooms with that achieved in special settings. He
argues that the negative impact on a child's self-esteem created by
placing him/her in an ordinary classroom may outweigh the benefits
of greater integration. A full and informative treatment of both
the theoretical and practical implications of a neglected subject,
this text book is suitable for experienced special educational
needs teachers and those undergoing teacher training, as well as
psychologists with an academic interest in the self-concept or a
professional involvement in assessing children.
