Reviews
'This is a very welcome addition to the growing body of literature on Intensive Interaction. By drawing on new findings from neurology and a better understanding of the centrality of communication, it demonstrates the power of Intensive Interaction as a practical intervention for a wide range of practitioners' - Seamus Hegarty, Editor of the European Journal of Special Needs Education, Visiting Professor at Warwick and Manchester Metropolitan

Author Information
Dr. Dave Hewett has been working in the field of special education for 40 years. He was headteacher at Harperbury Hospital School throughout the 1980s, where he and the team worked on the development of Intensive Interaction, producing the first publications and first research on Intensive Interaction, resulting in his doctorate. With Melanie Nind he produced the first Intensive Interaction book in 1994. Since 1990 he has been an independent consultant, continuing to publish extensively and work on the development and dissemination of the approach. Dave also publishes and gives courses on challenging behaviour issues, though as he maintains in the challenging behaviour section of this book, ‘behaviour difficulties are communication difficulties’. It is therefore not a separate topic. He is now director of the Intensive Interaction Institute, travelling and broadcasting the Intensive Interaction message increasingly worldwide.
