The book provides a good introduction on the topic of inclusion of children with additional need into pre-school. I gives a variety of practical tipps which can be easily applied by students when working with children with additional needs. It will help students to assess an environment and implement changes that are necessary in order to fully include children with additional needs into an ECCE setting.
A very practical book, good ideas, backs up the theory and helps put it into practice
A informative book with case studies and activities that help the students work on evaluating their own skills.
A well organised book that has lots of hands-on activities, ideas to try and case studies. I found it very useful for seminars.
Super book, loads of ideas for inclusive practice
