Building Blocks for Learning Occupational Therapy Approaches: Practical Strategies for the Inclusion of Special Needs in Primary School
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2008, Pages: 448
The government agendas, as enshrined in the National Service Framework for Children, Every Child Matters, The Children Act, Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001, SEN Codes of Practice and other documents, stress the importance of meeting the needs of every child and young person regardless of the social, emotional or physical challenges they face.
The current trend towards social inclusion has resulted in an increasing awareness by school staff of the necessity to support students who have a variety of additional needs. Occupational therapists are part of a team who identify how physical, psychological or learning difficulties affect a students ability to operate in the classroom. They identify how psychological or learning difficulties affect functional skills and help improve these skills or develop compensatory approaches.
This highly practical book will help staff recognize when a students poor performance within the classroom is a result of a medical condition or underlying motor and perceptual deficits. Clear tables enable the reader to link observed classroom behaviour with possible management approaches and sources for further advice. Each curriculum area has been analysed to identify where practical strategies will help students to achieve their potential. Information, clearly set out, will provide useful resource for special needs co-ordinators, teachers and support staff as well as paediatric occupational therapists when planning Pupil Inclusion Plans and Individual Education Plans for primary school students.
Occupational Therapy Approaches for Primary Special Needs is a resource book for educational staff and pediatric occupational therapists, especially those new to the field. It shows how the implications of physical, psychological, social, and learning difficulties impact upon childrens abilities. This highly practical book will help readers recognize when a students poor performance within the classroom is a result of a medical condition or underlying motor and perceptual deficits.
