As the government strives for a more inclusive education policy, more and more teachers find themselves in the frontline when dealing with children with mental health problems. Many have not had training in such matters and so feel unprepared and uncertain when faced with difficult situations. The Mental Health Handbook for Schools provides valuable information on a comprehensive range of mental health problems with which teachers are often confronted. Drawing on up-to-date research and practice in these areas the book considers what schools can do, within the special needs framework, to help pupils with these problems. It usefully reflects on the role of the mental health services in relation to schools and how schools can adopt a whole-school preventative approach to mental health problems. The authors address an extensive range of mental health problems including Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, eating disorders, substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorders and schizophrenia. They also cover situations that can often lead to the development of mental health problems including bullying, divorce and marital conflict, bereavement and physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

First published in 1997. This book provides practitioners in the field of special education with the information they need to decide whether controversial diagnoses and treatments in this field are valid. The aim of this book is to review the literature on each topic and comment on the current state of the art of each in a way which is accessible to teachers, other professionals and parents. The book is of relevance to all teachers and other professionals who are concerned with the education of children with SEN, including teachers in mainstream and special schools.

A fun and creative way to increase general well-being, improve concentration and communication, and encourage relaxation for all ages and abilities, this book offers a hands-on guide to the Story Massage Programme. Central to the book are step-by-step, illustrated instructions for ten easy-to-learn basic strokes which are given through clothes. No oil is used. These basic strokes have then been used to create over 25 massage stories which vary in length and complexity. The stories, songs and rhymes range from traditional nursery rhymes such as 'Humpty Dumpty' to hands-on learning stories such as 'Walking on the Moon.' It is a fun, flexible, and fully inclusive activity that can be enjoyed as a one-to-one or group session and as adult to child or peer massage. An enjoyable and interactive way of sharing the benefits of safe and appropriate use of positive touch, this book will be of interest to parents and carers, bodyworkers, teachers and other staff in mainstream, and special schools, care workers and health professionals.
