Reviews

'A very helpful resource to have.' - Specialist Teacher Adviser with Communication and Language Team 'The author does not dwell on theory,.. instead she focuses on activities that will make a difference. The imagery is contemporary and clean, and the book's spiral binding makes it easy to keep open on the desk during activities. This book is highly accessible, and a copy in every staffroom would be a good place to start.' - Cate Wood, SEN teacher and trainer with 30 years of experience
