Commonsense Methods for Children with Special Needs by Peter Westwood

Commonsense Methods for Children with Special Needs by Peter Westwood

This book provides teachers with an immediate and comprehensive source of practical ideas for use in regular classrooms. The author has drawn upon his own teaching experience and upon research to identify well tried and tested approaches covering basic academic skills improvement, behaviour management, social skills development and curriculum adaption. The third edition has been totally revised, with the addition of two new chapters dealing with early identification of, and instructional methods of intervention against, learning difficulties. The combination of the most recent research and clear, practical advice make this a valuable resource for further study.

'This is an excellent book which, while utilising modern methods of teaching, legitimises a sequential and commonsense approach to special education in ordinary classroom' - Australian Journal of Reading

Review of the second edition:

'This is a book which should be required reading for all Secretaries of State for Education ... It was easy to read and ought to find a place in as many staff libraries as possible - and might serve as astarting point for training day discussions.' - Education Review

'A must for teachers in training and a useful acquisition for teachers in the classroom.' - British Journal of Special Education

'Access to complex ideas is dealt with in an accessible and practical way ... I can recommend this book for its down-to-earth, common-sense approach and the wealth of practical strategies it proposes to meet the challenge of pupils with special needs in the ordinary classroom.' - Education 3-13
