This book provides practical guidance on how to successfully
incorporate music, sound and vibration into your special school,
exploring the rich benefits that musical opportunities offer for
children with physical, mental health and learning disabilities.

blood flow and even ease pain, whilst musical interventions can
encourage communication and enable relaxation. This book explores
the physical, cognitive and mental health benefits of music use in
special schools, introducing therapies and innovations that can be
adapted for use in your own specialist setting. Key features
include: * Chapters exploring a range of music therapies and
technologies that allow all students to access the benefits of
music, sound and vibration, from one-to-one therapeutic music
sessions to vibro-acoustic therapy and sing and sign * Case studies
and anecdotes showcasing the innovative ways that special schools
are using music, and providing concrete examples of how to deliver,
record and access music provision * Photocopiable policies, risk
assessments and links to useful resources Written by an author with
a wealth of experience in special education, this book is essential
reading for all those working in specialist settings or with
children with SEND.
This practical resource explores the benefits of therapeutic
trampolining on children and young people with special educational
needs. It supports practitioners as they introduce the trampoline
into their own therapeutic settings. Trampolining is known to
improve balance, co-ordination and motor skills; it can improve
bone density and benefit the lymphatic and cardiovascular systems.
It has even shown to encourage communication in children with
autism and PMLD. This book draws on the author's extensive
experience of delivering both the British Gymnastics Trampoline
Proficiency Award scheme as well as the Rebound Therapy
trampolining programme. The book also explores the practical side
on how to set up and deliver trampolining as a therapy in schools,
clubs or in the home. Photocopiable material includes: Lesson
equipment, such as schemes of work, lesson plans adapted for
varying needs and a trampoline rules poster. Tools for offering
therapeutic trampolining sessions such as sequencing cards,
communication cards, Risk Assessment, an individual education plan
and a communication placemat. All the necessary forms to ensure a
safe trampolining environment for all participants, including
screening forms, referral and assessment forms and relevant
policies. A business plan for after school provision, advertising
leaflet and service level agreement. This is an invaluable resource
for anybody looking to explore therapeutic trampolining as a way of
enhancing the physical and emotional wellbeing of children and
young people with special educational needs.
New technologies and ongoing developments in the fields of Virtual
reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence are changing
the ways in which we facilitate learning. Recognising the positive
role these technologies can play in the learning and progress of
students assessed as having special educational needs, this
practical guide explains the characteristics, benefits, risks and
potential applications of new technologies in the classroom. An
innovative and timely resource, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality
and Artificial Intelligence in Special Education offers a
background in the evidence-based theory and practice of using new
technologies in an educational context. Accessible and free of
complex jargon, chapters provide information on the development,
intended uses and most current terminology used in relation to
technologies, and explains how modern equipment, approaches and
possibilities can be used to promote improved communication skills,
independent learning and heightened self-esteem amongst students
diagnosed with SEND. Offering a wealth of practical tips,
downloadable resources and ideas for engaging with technology in
the classroom, the text will support teachers to ensure that
students can benefit from exciting technological advances and learn
to use them appropriately. Demystifying a complex and varied field,
this practical resource will inspire and inform teachers, SENCOs
and practitioners working with children and students with SEND as
they harness the use of technology in the classroom.
