The Routledge Companion to Severe, Profound and Multiple Learning
Difficulties is a timely and rich resource with contributions from
writing teams of acknowledged experts providing a balance of both
academic and practitioner perspectives. The book covers a myriad of
topics and themes and has the core purpose of informing and

education and support for children and young adults with severe,
profound and multiple learning difficulties and their families.
Each chapter contains careful presentations and analyses of the
findings from influential research and its practical applications
and the book is a treasure chest of experiences, suggestions and
ideas from practitioners that will be invaluable for many years to
come. The chapters include many vignettes gathered from
practitioners in the field and are written specifically to be
rigorous yet accessible. The contributors cover topics related to
the rights and needs of children and young adults from 0-25 years,
crucial features of high quality education, characteristics of
integrated provision and effective and sensitive working with
families to ensure the best possible outcomes for their children.
Crucially, the voice of the learners themselves shines through.
Historical provision that has had an impact on developing services
and modern legislation aimed at improving provision and services
are also discussed. The contributed chapters are organised into six
themed parts: Provision for learners with SLD/PMLD. Involving
stakeholders. Priorities for meeting the personal and social needs
of learners. Developing the curriculum. Strategies for supporting
teaching and learning. Towards a new understanding of education for
learners with SLD/PMLD. This text is an essential read for students

teachers but also for support staff, speech and language
therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, nurses, social workers

that can engage more deeply with the issues raised and, as such, is
a useful resource for anyone wanting to know more about researching
learning difficulties' - British Journal of Special Education 'This
book is highly recommended and endorsed. It celebrates the
diversity of work that is currently undertaken in the field of
learning difficulties with a concern to enable people working
within different spheres of activity to share something of their
work to contribute to the bigger picture. 'As part of an academic,
school or staff development resource library this book will aid,
stimulate and focus researchers at all levels to hone their
selected methods, evaluate results and critically judge qualitative
and quantitative data' - Special Children `This timely book,
written in a highly accessible way... provides a coherent basis for
users as well as practitioners, of research involving children and
young people with learning difficulties' - Ann Lewis, Professor of

professionals working with children and people with learning
difficulties. It will enable them to: - access research in learning
difficulties, drawing on other disciplines - understand different
types of research methodology and their strengths and limitations -
examine how researchers must consider the constraints on
methodology because of the characteristics of the field - and
understand the particular issues of small-scale research and
participatory research - explore new methodologies that are
developing in the field The authors recognize that there are
tensions, especially the difficulty of validating research on small
varied populations in a wide range of schools, community and other
settings. The book will help readers to critically evaluate the
implications of research reports for their own practice. This book
is for researchers, teachers and professionals: - in specialist and
inclusive community and educational settings - following courses of
