The current trend towards social inclusion has resulted in an
increasing awareness by school staff of the necessity to support
students who have a variety of additional needs. Occupational
Therapists identify how physical, psychological and learning
disabilities affect a student?s ability to operate in the
classroom. This highly practical book will help staff recognise
when a student?s poor performance within the classroom is the
result of a medical condition or underlying motor and perceptual
deficit. Clear tables enable the reader to link observed classroom
behaviour with possible management approaches and sources for
further advice. Each curriculum subject has been analysed to
identify areas where practical strategies will help students to
achieve their potential. Information, clearly set out with bullet
points, will provide a useful resource for special needs
co-ordinators, teachers and support staff when devising Individual
Education Plans. Paediatric Occuptional Therapists working with
secondary aged students will also find it an invaluable tool.
