Intended for those professionals whose work brings them into contact with children with learning difficulties, but who do not always have the opportunity to share their expertise with others, this work covers the theoretical rationale for the approaches used by each professional and examples of the practical activities and techniques used. The book has a broad base of learning difficulty which includes autism and Asperger's syndrome. Dyslexia is also included, and the authors also cover a wide developmental life span, from working with young babies to adolescents; and the whole spectrum of mental handicap, from mild learning difficulties to children with severe learning difficulties, and profound and multiple handicaps.
