2020 Practical Pre-School Books

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) in Practice is designed to support practitioners, managers and staff with clear and accessible information on the duties and responsibilities of providers of early years education who care for children with special educational needs and disability. The book includes chapters on: what is SEND?; legislation and statutory government policy; strategies to remove barriers to learning and ways to support children with specific conditions; the role of the SENCO, working with other professionals and multi-agency support; child protection and available funding and benefits; and resources and training.

Whatever the setting, this book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of SEND policy in the EYFS, advice on how to ensure that best practice is applied consistently and effectively in daily provision, as well as clarity on what resources and funding are available to support families outside the setting.
