| Summary |
"This guide examines the cognitive, medical and psychological aspects of educating a child with Prader-Willi Syndrome."--BOOK JACKET. "Practical advice is given for every part of the schooling process, from classroom management to helping the child with difficult lessons such as maths. The section on further education discusses the ethical issues concerned with learning skills for independent living and the potential for future employment."--BOOK JACKET. "While the book will be vital to teachers and learning support assistants, several sections will also make very important reading for ancillary school staff, as well as decision-makers such as educational psychologists, headteachers and governors."--BOOK JACKET |
