This is a practical and highly usable special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) guide which can be read cover-to-cover to build knowledge and confidence, or which can be used as a reference resource to dip into as needs present themselves.
The guide brims with insight to support understanding and early identification of SEND, as well as practical ideas and pragmatic guidance which support education practitioners to understand what to look out for in their settings, and what strategies are likely to have a positive impact on learners who have - or who may have - SEND.
The book is also written to support parents/families and Georgina Durrant manages this well.
All chapters are written in clear, accessible language, free of jargon or technical terminology- and where that is necessary, well-considered explanations are provided. It is thoughtfully organised and structured, allowing a vast, overlapping range of challenges to be explored without causing confusion or overwhelm. I particularly like how each chapter is structured: case studies with reflections from learners with lived experience; overview of needs and what we might notice; strategies and resources which may help; signposting to further support.
Georgina writes in a style which conveys her passion for neuro-affirmative, person-centred practice, while consistently acknowledging the myriad challenges that come with working within the Secondary sector or parenting a teen!
The clear explanations and actionable solutions make this a perfect resource for veteran educators, those new to the profession, and for families alike.
