| Summary |
"This practical text based on international research and practice enables the reader to identify highly able pupils with special needs such as ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia and Down's Syndrome, and then make provision for them within the mainstream school." "The author looks at: creating a positive, constructive and supportive learning environment; offering a cognitively challenging curriculum; and engaging the learners in partnership to understand and manage their learning support." "Written for teachers and students at both primary and secondary levels, it will also be of interest to educators, researchers and educational psychologists."--BOOK JACKET |
