Special Needs in Early Years Settings - A Guide for Practitioners

This book provides reader-friendly, easy-to-access information about the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice and what it means for the Early Years practitioner. It prunes away the jargon and 'legal-speak' of the DfEE documents, allowing the busy teacher to easily focus on the aspects they want to explore. It also contains practical suggestions and advice regarding the day-to-day classroom management of a special needs child and details on how to actually implement the requirements of the Code of Practice.

Teachers working in the Early Years and all those working in private nurseries and non-maintained Early Years settings should find this book enormously helpful.
