Review :
'This book will provide any parent, who has a child with special needs, reassurance and advice of what to do and who to contact for support or where to go for further information.' Early Years Educator Magazine 'This book gives a clear insight into a variety of the most common special educational needs. Its straight forward format repeated in each chapter makes it easy to read and digest. This book will be very useful to classroom teachers as well as parents looking for an initial insight into their children's special educational need.' Emma Davis, primary school teacher 'It is written with brief and easy-to-understand guides which clarify the maze of jargon, diagnoses and acronyms that parents come come into contact with, especially around the early years...it is refreshing to find a book that is light to read.' Katie Clarke, Nasen Special Magazine 'Every teacher should be given a copy of this book when they qualify to work with children, for it contains concise information on different types of additional needs. However, the main strength of this book is that it doesn't just point parents in the right direction to get help; it is also packed full of strategies to use at home.' Derby and Derbyshire Parent Partnership 'This guide is invaluable.' Jane Fookes, National Deaf Children's Society Magazine
