Overview

A textbook on special educational needs which offers a balance between theory, research and practice as well as a unique analysis of the implications of the effects of linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity on special educational needs. The fourth edition of this textbook will be revised and updated in order to respond to changes in the field, including developments in national policy and in ways of thinking about special educational needs and inclusion. It will take account of research and publications that have appeared since 2014, in particular in the international literature. There will be more on the theoretical aspects of inclusive practice and some of the case studies and learning activities will be updated to make them as relevant as possible, reflecting contemporary examples of best practice in the field. In addition to the central cross-cutting theme (equality, diversity and inclusion), other themes incorporated across chapters will include professional ethics, parental support for learning, person-centred practices and the effects of poverty.
