Parents instinctively know there is a problem, but don't know how to solve it. This book was written for keen parents and for all professionals who are needed to help the intelligent child who is not coping in the classroom.

Full of practical suggestions and sequences of activities, covering a wide range of areas, it is ideal for planning both therapy and home programes.

These approaches will provide practical help to all those working with pupils with learning difficulties in a variety of contexts. The book will also appeal to those responsible for staff and school development, including the changing roles of specialist teachers and special schools, and for developing policy and practice with regard to inclusion.
