Children With Learning Difficulties

Intended for those professionals whose work brings them into contact with children with learning difficulties, this work covers the theoretical rationale for the approaches used by each professional and examples of the practical activities and techniques used. The book has a broad base of learning difficulty which includes autism and Asperger's syndrome. Dyslexia has also been included, since it contributes so pervasively to learning difficulties at school. The author also covers a wide developmental life span, from working with young babies to adolescents; and the whole spectrum of mental handicap, from mild learning difficulties to severe learning difficulties and profound and multiple handicaps.
