Reviews

'This book by Professor Wearmouth and colleagues is a thorough, up to date and practical text for professionals and students working with children and families in the early years. Approaches to working with children with a range of needs are critically explored and ways of engaging with peers and families are an important focus. The text provides both breadth and depth, with thoughtful and critical exploration of the wide range of issues and challenges in the field of SEND. Vignettes and thought provoking questions in each section engage the reader and enable connection with personal professional practice. This will become a key text in the field.' - Joy Jarvis, Professor of Educational Practice, University of Hertfordshire 'A very comprehensive read giving a great historical view of SEN. I enjoyed the fact that many factors have been raised when taking into consideration supporting families of children with an additional need and that no two cases are the same. Families matter, we should continue to hold their thoughts, wishes and opinions at the very heart of everything we do in supporting them on their journey. A must read for Early Years Professionals.' - Anne Eadie, Early Years Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Advisory Teacher, Special Educational Needs and Disability Service
