Partnership Working to Support Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
- Rona Tutt - Consultant, writer, researcher and former President of NAHT
Supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in this context is more vital than ever, as more children are being diagnosed with additional needs, and those working with children are aware of the need to ensure every individual is given the maximum opportunity to develop to their full potential.
This book examines how partnership working affects those children with SEND by considering:
- the diversity of additional needs;
- specialist schools;
- partnership working with special schools;
- partnership working with groups of schools;
- schools and other services working together;
- children's centers;
- a wide range of other services for children, young people and families.
Filled with case studies of best practice from real schools, this book is a must-have for those looking at how to work together to achieve positive outcomes for all.
This book provides useful background information for the course, but does not really privide in depth academic commentary which is required at this level.
Very accessible and practical book. I particularly value the case studies of effective practice from \real\" schools. "
a good resource for planning the lectures. the learners used this book for quotes and some have gone to purchase these from their local book shop.
This book provides a good understanding as to why it is important to work in partenship with professionals and families in the SEN areana.
A very informative text.
This book provides a sound understanding of the complexities of working in interdisciplinary teams with children and young people. It is structured in such a way to guide the reader through its content, providing case studies and key points to maximise the opportunites for learning. Whilst it does not provide a deeply theoretical context for understanding inclusion and special needs, it does contribute a practical toolkit of resources for anyone working with children. In this way, people in the early stages of their career can quesion and explore the ways in which they can support and guide others to provide a dignified and supported network for children and young people.
There is some applicable, generic information regarding additional support needs but the emphasis is on schools in England. With references to English systems and legislation which do not apply in Scotland. Helpful for informing teachers, with some useful reflective activities.
Given the drive on SEND infomation and data required by OFSTED I think that this book is an essential requirement to ITE book lists. It is clear and consise, easy to read and really interesting. It gives information on a range of SEND support and different levels of partnership - a one-stop-shop for anyone wanting to find out about SEND. I will reccomend this book to students and colleagues in ITE and Professional studies
this is an excellent book which considers communicationand joined up working and thinking for childre, young people and adults
a useful tool for the next module I am currently planning for, SEN and inclusion. I will be recommending this to my students as additional reading.
