This is the first textbook on special educational needs to take full account of linguistic, ethnic and cultural diversity. It describes interactionist models and practical approaches, and introduces frameworks for accountable practice that will help schools and LEA services to respond effectively to the new SEN Code of Practice. Written to support initial training and continuing professional development, the book includes tasks that have been designed to help teachers, psychologists and other professionals to consolidate their understanding and relate new concepts and information to issues in practice.

Media Reviews
It is difficult to do justice to a book in a relatively short review. It is comprehensive and, more importantly, covers SEN within the widest possible framework of inclusion. The book as a whole is well grounded in educational psychology and, as such, would be of undoubted use in training. I would also suggest that it offers a broad framework for teachers. Although, theoretically based it never looses its sight of practice issues. I consider that the book merits a place on the recommended list for trainee psychologists or teachers and would be a valuable addition to the staff room library . - Joe Hodgson Psychology of Education 20030708
