'Janet Kay is clear about the need to avoid presuppositions when thinking about factors that might influence behaviour and what actually happens with real childrenShe provides good advice on topics such as learning difficulties, autism and ADHD. She has sensible words on how and why behaviour policy documents should be written...the book...demonstrates convincingly the difficult diference between mereky containing unwanted behaviour and providing circumstances in which it can change for the better.' - Tom Deveson Music Teacher 'One of Janet Lay's striking phrases - 'difference as ordinary' - is more than a way of thinking about how to furnish settings for children with special educational needs. Considered more deeply, it is a defining characteristic of music itself.' -- Tom Deveson
